The technological evolution has been progressing for centuries and will possibly increase at
a higher rate in the 21st century. Currently, in this age of nanotechnology, the discovery of …

Atomically thin materials (ATMs) with thicknesses in the atomic scale (typically< 5 nm) offer
inherent advantages of large specific surface areas, proper crystal lattice distortion …

The clinical application of photothermal therapy (PTT) is severely limited by the tissue
penetration depth of excitation light, and enzyme therapy is hampered by its low therapeutic …

In vivo imaging, which enables us to peer deeply within living subjects, is producing
tremendous opportunities both for clinical diagnostics and as a research tool. Contrast …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively explored as magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) contrast agents. With the increasing complexity in the structure of modern …

Single-or multi-layer transition metal oxides (TMOs) have a relatively longer history than
other atomically thin materials. TMOs comprise many earth-abundant minerals and have …

The increasing demand of clinical biomedicine and fast development of nanobiotechnology
has substantially promoted the generation of a variety of organic/inorganic nanosystems for …

This review contributes towards a systematic understanding of the mechanism of shape-
dependent effects on nanoparticles (NPs) for elaborating and predicting their properties and …

Two-dimensional materials have become a major focus in materials chemistry research
worldwide with substantial efforts centered on synthesis, property characterization, and …

Research on iron oxide-based magnetic nanoparticles and their clinical use has been, so
far, mainly focused on the spherical shape. However, efforts have been made to develop …
