Laser technology is used to generate nanoparticles. The laser "blasts" the nanoparticles out of a substrate surface �?? the engineer calls this material ablation - directly into a suitable liquid such as oil, water, or solvent, which at the same time stabilizes the precious and highly sensitive nanomaterial.
