title: Seed-less amino-sugar mediated synthesis of gold nanostars.
abstract: By using aminosugars, a series of multipodal gold nanostructures has been obtained via a one-pot chemical reduction method in aqueous solution and at room temperature. The size and shape of these NPs were controlled either by adjusting the amount of reducing agent or by quenching the reaction at a given time.
