Tunable and scalable production of nanostar particle platforms for diverse applications using an AI-integrated automated synthesis system
Journal Article Journal of Materials Science · February 1, 2025 The tunable optical properties and exceptional electromagnetic field enhancement of nanostar-based plasmonic nanoparticles make them highly promising for a wide array of biomedical applications. However, a great challenge for their widespread use is the ti ... Full text CiteThree-dimensional diffractive acoustic tomography.
Journal Article Nat Commun · January 29, 2025 Acoustically probing biological tissues with light or sound, photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging can provide anatomical, functional, and/or molecular information at depths far beyond the optical diffusion limit. However, most photoacoustic and ultrasound ... Full text Link to item CitePlasmonics-enhanced spikey nanorattle-based biosensor for direct SERS detection of mRNA cancer biomarkers.
Journal Article Anal Bioanal Chem · December 2024 We present a plasmonics-enhanced spikey nanorattle-based biosensor for direct surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of mRNA cancer biomarkers. Early detection of cancers such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is critical for imp ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
