This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of
pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that …

The capacity to respond or adapt to environmental changes is an intrinsic property of living
systems that comprise highly-connected subcomponents communicating through chemical …

Coulombic interactions can be used to assemble charged nanoparticles into higher-order
structures, but the process requires oppositely charged partners that are similarly sized. The …

Highly monodisperse, biocompatible and functionalizable sub-10-nm citrate-stabilized gold
nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been synthesized following a kinetically controlled seeded …

Polymer and lipid nanoparticles have been extensively used as carriers to address the
biological barriers encountered in siRNA and mRNA delivery. We summarize the crucial role …

The ability to guide the assembly of nanosized objects reversibly with external stimuli, in
particular light, is of fundamental importance, and it contributes to the development of …

Anisotropic (nonspherical) metal nanoparticles are of widespread research interest because
changing the shape of metals at the nanoscale can provide access to materials with unique …

The interaction of proteins in living cells is one of the key processes in the maintenance of
their homeostasis. Introduction of additional agents into the chain of these interactions may …

Biomedical applications increasingly require fully characterized new nanomaterials. There is
strong evidence showing that nanomaterials not only interact with cells passively but also …

Biomimetic solid-state nanochannels enable new modalities for biosensing. In the last
decade, these nanofluidic architectures have been widely studied due to their rapid and …
