The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth antimony telluride (BiSbTe)
bulk alloys has remained around 1 for more than 50 years. We show that a peak ZT of 1.4 at …

The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound
energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and …

Photoacoustic imaging of living subjects offers higher spatial resolution and allows deeper
tissues to be imaged compared with most optical imaging techniques 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . As …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit unique size, shape and physical
properties 1 , 2 , 3 that make them promising candidates for biological applications. Here, we …

Theranostics is a concept of integrating imaging and therapy into a single platform for use in
the next generation of personalized medicine to meet the challenges in modern health care.(…

This study evaluates the influence of particle size, PEGylation, and surface coating on the
quantitative biodistribution of near‐infrared‐emitting quantum dots (QDs) in mice. Polymer‐ or …

Chemically functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have shown promise in
tumor-targeted accumulation in mice and exhibit biocompatibility, excretion, and little toxicity. …

Light-activated, photosensitizer-based therapies have been established as safe modalities
of tumour ablation for numerous cancer indications. Two main approaches are available: …

To date, the in vivo imaging of quantum dots (QDs) has been mostly qualitative or semiquantitative.
The development of a dual-function PET/near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probe …

Theranostic nanomedicine is emerging as a promising therapeutic paradigm. It takes advantage
of the high capacity of nanoplatforms to ferry cargo and loads onto them both imaging …
