Many reliable and reproducible methods exist for manufacturing gold nanoparticles with the desired and specific compositions, structures, arrangements, and physicochemical properties. In this report, we review the key principles guiding the formation and growth of nanoclusters, their evolution into nanoparticles, and the role and contribution of coatings. We describe a range of imaging methods for characterization of nanoparticles at atomic resolution and a range of spectroscopy methods for structural and physicochemical characterization of such nanoparticles. This chapter concludes with a short review of the emergent applications of nanoparticles in biosciences.
