TL;DR: Due to their high manganese chelation stability, excellent biocompatibility, and strong near‐infrared absorption, high‐performance longitudinal‐transverse imaging and photothermal tumor ablation are achieved and the hydrogen peroxide‐triggered decomposition behavior of MnEMNPs circumvents the poor biodegradation issue of many nanomaterials.
Abstract: While magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents have potential in noninvasive image-guided tumor treatment, further developments are needed to increase contrast, biodegradability, and safety. Here, novel engineered manganese-eumelanin coordination nanocomposites (MnEMNPs) are developed via a facile one-pot intrapolymerization doping (IPD) approach in aqueous solution, through simple chemical oxidation-polymerization of the 3,4-dihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine precursor with potassium permanganate serving as the Mn source and an oxidant. The resulting MnEMNPs possess ultrahigh longitudinal relaxivity (r1 value up to 60.8 mM-1 s-1 at 1.5 T) attributed to the high manganese doping efficiency (>10%) and geometrically confined conformation. Due to their high manganese chelation stability, excellent biocompatibility, and strong near-infrared absorption, high-performance longitudinal-transverse (T1-T2) dual-modal magnetic resonance/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal tumor ablation are achieved. Furthermore, the hydrogen peroxide-triggered decomposition behavior of MnEMNPs circumvents the poor biodegradation issue of many nanomaterials. This facile, convenient, economical, and efficient IPD strategy will open up new avenues for the development of high-performance multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms in bionanomedicine.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …
