In the last decade, several engineered gold-based nanomaterials, such as spheres, rods,
stars, cubes, hollow particles, and nanocapsules have been widely explored in biomedical …

In the last decade, many innovative nanodrugs have been developed, as well as many
nanoradiocompounds that show amazing features in nuclear imaging and/or radiometabolic …

Plasmonic nanoparticles have been intensely used in research because they possess
powerful optical properties. Gold nanorods (Au NRs), in particular, feature the interesting …

Fluorescence-based single-molecule optical detection techniques are widely chosen over
other methods, owing to the ease of background screening and better signal-to-noise …

In this study, the self-assembling strategy was used to synthesize a therapeutic and
diagnostic nanosystem for tumor-triggered targeting dual-mode near-infrared fluorescence …

We demonstrate two-photon-excited single-molecule fluorescence enhancement by single
end-to-end self-assembled gold nanorod dimers. We employed biotinylated streptavidin as …

Optical studies of redox reactions are relatively non-invasive and can be performed in
solution or on surfaces. These advantages are paired with advances in single-molecule and …

We report a comparison of two photonic techniques for single-molecule sensing:
fluorescence nanoscopy and optoplasmonic sensing. As the test system, oligonucleotides …

The conjugation of dye-labelled DNA oligonucleotides with gold nanorods has been widely
explored for the development of multifunctional fluorescent nanoprobes. Here, we show that …

Plasmonic-enhanced luminescence of single molecules enables imaging and detection of
low quantities of fluorophores, down to individual molecules. In this work, we present two …
