The understanding of biological systems at the molecular scale is increasingly reliant on the
capability of tracking miscellaneous biomolecules and their events with improved spatial …

In this review we present new concepts and recent progress in the application of
semiconductor quantum dots (QD) as labels in two important areas of biology, bioimaging …

Research on the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) over the past thirty‐odd years is
reviewed. The LSC is a simple device at its heart, employing a polymeric or glass …

Nanoparticles are particles that range in size from about 1–1000 nanometers in diameter,
about one thousand times smaller than the average cell in a human body. Their small size …

Upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles can convert a longer wavelength radiation (eg, near-
infrared light) into a shorter wavelength fluorescence (eg, visible light) and thus have …

Nanotechnology is a fast-growing area, involving the fabrication and use of nano-sized
materials and devices. Various nanocomposite materials play a number of important roles in …

The use of fluorescent nanoparticles as probes for bioanalytical applications is a highly
promising technique because fluorescence-based techniques are very sensitive. Quantum …

Gelatin is a protein obtained from the hydrolysis of collagen. Gelatin is an attractive
biodegradable material for use in nano-biotechnology and nano-pharmaceutics. Gelatin …

The paper reviews recent progress on chiral nanocrystal assemblies with induced optical
chirality and related circular dichroism. Many natural molecules and biomolecules are chiral …

In recent years, the functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with
different types of responsive pore gatekeepers have shown great potential for the …
