Stimuli-responsive nanobubbles have received increased attention for their application in
spatial and temporal resolution of diagnostic techniques and therapies, particularly in …

Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of
biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control
temperature on the nanoscale. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal …

Laser ablation synthesis in liquid solution (LASiS) is a “green” technique that gives access to
the preparation of a library of nanomaterials. Bare noble metal spherical particles …

Bubbles in liquids, soft and squeezy objects made of gas and vapour, yet so strong as to
destroy any material and so mysterious as at times turning into tiny light bulbs, are the topic …

Photothermal processes in plasmonic nanoparticles have been at the basis of a decade of
burgeoning activities that set the field of thermoplasmonics. Here, we present an overview of …

The dynamics of spherical laser-induced cavitation bubbles in water is investigated by
plasma photography, time-resolved shadowgraphs and sensitive single-shot probe beam …

We investigate theoretically and numerically the thermodynamics of gold nanoparticles
immersed in water and illuminated by a femtosecond-pulsed laser at their plasmonic …

We have used short laser pulses to generate transient vapor nanobubbles around
plasmonic nanoparticles. The photothermal, mechanical, and optical properties of such …

Nanoparticles have become increasingly important for a variety of applications, including
medical diagnosis and treatment, energy harvesting and storage, catalysis, and additive …
