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 …

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 …

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 …

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.(…

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

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 …

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

The design and use of materials in the nanoscale size range for addressing medical and
health-related issues continues to receive increasing interest. Research in nanomedicine …

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 …
