Unlike traditional spectrometric methods, which gather data based on the light a sample transmits, reflects, or emits, photothermal spectroscopy focuses on detecting the heat generated through ...

Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a multifunctional Kevlar-based composite material capable of ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Cell-based therapies constitute a newer form of treatment in which genetically modified cells are injected in patient in order to prevent or treat illnesses. A well-known example is the use of a ...

Inspecting subwavelength defects in dense nanopatterns is hindered by weak signals and strong background noise. Researchers ...

Cancer cells frequently develop the ability to expel anticancer drugs before they can work—a phenomenon called multidrug resistance (MDR)—which is one of the leading reasons why chemotherapy fails in ...

Scientists developed a plasma-based process for the synthesis of photothermal materials for water purification, and desalination. (Nanowerk News) The conversion of solar energy into thermal energy is ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a new light-based nanotechnology that could improve how certain cancers are detected and treated, offering a more precise and potentially less harmful ...

An INRS team innovates with photothermal materials to purify and desalinate water. Technology for converting solar energy into thermal energy is ever evolving and has numerous applications. A recent ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...
