Temperature in </=10-microliter aqueous suspensions of 20-nanometer gold particles irradiated by a continuous wave Ar+ ion laser at 514 nm increased to a maximum equilibrium value in proportion to incident laser power and to nanoparticle content at low concentration.Abstract:
Visible radiation at resonant frequencies is transduced to thermal energy by surface plasmons on gold nanoparticles. Temperature in ≤10-microliter aqueous suspensions of 20-nanometer gold particles irradiated by a continuous wave Ar+ ion laser at 514 nm increased to a maximum equilibrium value. This value increased in proportion to incident laser power and in proportion to nanoparticle content at low concentration. Heat input to the system by nanoparticle transduction of resonant irradiation equaled heat flux outward by conduction and radiation at thermal equilibrium. The efficiency of transducing incident resonant light to heat by microvolume suspensions of gold nanoparticles was determined by applying an energy balance to obtain a microscale heat-transfer time constant from the transient temperature profile. Measured values of transduction efficiency were increased from 3.4% to 9.9% by modulating the incident continuous wave irradiation.read more

Combining dual-targeted liquid metal nanoparticles with autophagy activation and mild photothermal therapy to treat metastatic breast cancer and inhibit bone destruction
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors used liquid metal (LM) nanoparticles to resist thermal resistance induced by mild photothermal therapy via autophagy activation, which can overcome the treatment bottleneck of traditional PTT by resisting photothermal resistance and immune suppression.

Cancer Cell Imaging and Photothermal Therapy in the Near-Infrared Region by Using Gold Nanorods
TL;DR: It is found that, after exposure to continuous red laser at 800 nm, malignant cells require about half the laser energy to be photothermally destroyed than the nonmalignant cells, so both efficient cancer cell diagnostics and selective photothermal therapy are realized at the same time.
