TL;DR: The state of the art in nanoparticle development, surface chemistry, and biosensing mechanisms is reviewed, including the precision synthesis of nanoparticles in microfluidic systems; ultrasensitive detection of cancer biomarkers in human serum with time-gated QD fluorescence; multiplexed intracellular sensing of mRNA; and the integration of nanoparticle biosensors with advanced DNA/RNA target amplification protocols are reviewed.

TL;DR: This review discusses fundamental research activity and its focus on the solidification and interfacial reactions of Sn-based solder systems, and first explains the reactions between common base materials, coatings, and metallisations, and then proceed to more complex systems with additional alloying elements.

TL;DR: This tutorial review discusses the use of plasmonic nanomaterials in the development of biodiagnostic tools for the detection of a large variety of biomolecular analytes, and how their plAsmonic properties give rise to tunable optical characteristics and surface enhanced Raman signals.

TL;DR: SPNs were used in simple fluorescence imaging experiments and showed uptake in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma and live HeLa cells, and appear to be a promising imaging agent in biomedical and imaging applications.

TL;DR: The magnetic-fluorescent semiconductor polymer nanospheres (MF-SPNs) synthesized by encapsulation of hydrophobic conjugated polymers and iron oxide nanoparticles in phospholipid micelles were shown to be magnetically responsive and simultaneously fluorescent.
