Nanostars have a wide range of applications due to their unique properties. In biomedicine, they are used for targeted drug delivery and photothermal therapy, where their ability to convert light into heat is utilized to destroy cancer cells. In diagnostics, nanostars are employed in biosensors to detect biomolecules at very low concentrations, taking advantage of their enhanced SERS properties. Additionally, nanostars are used in environmental monitoring, catalysis, and even in the development of advanced optical devices.
