A research team has developed upconversion nanoparticles to assist in powering molecular motors. The nanoparticles can convert near-infrared radiation, which is capable of penetrating bulk material, ...
Photon upconversion involves a series of non-linear optical processes where the sequential absorption of two or more photons leads to the emission of a single photon with energy greater than the sum ...
Upconversion nanoparticles possess the distinctive power of converting low absorption photons to high emission energies, enabling minimal tissue absorptions and optimal tissue penetrations.
Recently, a study published in Research (November 24) successfully developed an innovative nanotherapy to combat carbapenem-resistant central nervous system (CNS) infections. The research, titled “BBB ...
In a collaboration with the group of Prof. Ben Feringa at Groningen University, Prof. Hong Zhang and his PhD graduate Dr Kefan Wu at the University of Amsterdam’s Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular ...
Researchers created upconversion nanoparticles that turn near-infrared light into blue/UV light to power molecular motors for materials and biological uses. (Nanowerk News) In a collaboration with the ...
