A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of ...

By harnessing gold nanoparticles coupled with the HN-1 peptide, this innovative system targets TSCC cells with unprecedented precision, offering enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) and dual-mode ...

If left to their own devices, bacteria on our teeth or wounded ... making it a prime candidate for photothermal therapy, a strategy that utilizes the heat from nanoparticles to kill nearby pathogens.

For instance, specks of the precious metal are used in photothermal therapy, where particles delivered to the tumor site convert specific wavelengths of light to heat, killing surrounding cancer ...
