With the recent FDA approval of the first siRNA‐derived therapeutic, RNA interference
(RNAi)‐mediated gene therapy is undergoing a transition from research to the clinical …

The physics and applications of a broad class of artificial electromagnetic materials
composed of lattices of aligned metal rods embedded in a dielectric matrix are reviewed …

Due to the abuse of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance is rapidly emerging and becoming a
major global risk for public health. Thus, there is an urgent need for reducing the use of …

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) hold great promise for many future technologies. Silicon is
already at the core of photovoltaics and microelectronics, and SiQDs are capable of efficient …

A single-step procedure to simultaneously load and protect high concentrations of siRNA in
porous silicon nanoparticles (pSiNPs) is presented. Treatment of pSiNPs with an aqueous …

Nanomaterials offer the potential for minimally invasive and focal therapies to reduce side-
effects associated with systemic administration of anticancer drugs. Clinical treatment …

A lack of consensus persists regarding the origin of photoluminescence in silicon
nanocrystals. Here we report pressure-dependences of X-ray diffraction and …

The luminescence lifetime of nanocrystalline silicon is typically on the order of
microseconds, significantly longer than the nanosecond lifetimes exhibited by fluorescent …

Porous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs) have attracted increasing interest as biomedical
probes for drug delivery and imaging. In particular, a set of unique properties including …

Here, chemical sensors made from porous Si are reviewed, with an emphasis on systems
that harness photoluminescence and related energy‐and charge‐transfer mechanisms …
