DESCRIPTION
Nanotheranostics is a cutting-edge field of medicine that uses nanoparticles to simultaneously diagnose and treat diseases. Chemical engineers at EPFL have now developed a novel nanotheranostic system that uses tunable light to activate or image nanoparticles, thus opening a new path for the field. The work is published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
