      Well in theory, I am going to be coating the gold nanoparticles in a sticky coating, which will then let me easily attach my “biosensors”. Think of it as you being covered in velcro (the biosensor) and jumping on to a sticky wall (coated nanoparticle) instead of having to do a complex chemical reaction to get them to stick which is normally needed!
