Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradable luminescent porous silicon nanoparticles for in vivo applications.

TL;DR: LPSiNPs are presented, a new type of multifunctional nanostructure with a low-toxicity degradation pathway for in vivo applications that can carry a drug payload and of which the intrinsic near-infrared photoluminescence enables monitoring of both accumulation and degradation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Porous Silicon-Based Optical Interferometric Biosensor

TL;DR: A biosensor has been developed based on induced wavelength shifts in the Fabry-Perot fringes in the visible-light reflection spectrum of appropriately derivatized thin films of porous silicon semiconductors based on Binding of molecules induced changes in the refractive index of the porous silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoporous silicon sponge as an anti-pulverization structure for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes

TL;DR: In-situ transmission electron microscopy and continuum media mechanical calculations are combined to demonstrate that large (>20 μm) mesoporous silicon sponge prepared by the anodization method can limit the particle volume expansion at full lithiation to ~30% and prevent pulverization in bulk silicon particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computationally Guided Photothermal Tumor Therapy Using Long-Circulating Gold Nanorod Antennas

TL;DR: An integrated approach to improved plasmonic therapy composed of multimodal nanomaterial optimization and computational irradiation protocol development is described and a single i.v. injection of PEG-NRs enabled destruction of all irradiated human xenograft tumors in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting of drugs and nanoparticles to tumors

TL;DR: This work reviews the recent advances in this delivery approach with a focus on the use of molecular markers of tumor vasculature as the primary target and nanoparticles as the delivery vehicle.
