Read More »Our collaboration work on long-lived phosphorescence of silica nanoparticles with Profs. Woosung Kwon (Sookmyung Women’s University) and Kyeonghak Kim (Hanyang University) has been published in Chemical Engineering Journal. This work reports a use of defect-engineered silica nanoparticle that presents room-temperature phosphorescence with extended lifetime up to a few milliseconds-scale. Such a long lifetime allows tissue […]
Read More »Our collaborative work on biodegradable nanoparticles and controlled ferroptosis has been published in Nano Today. This work reports spatiotemporal tracking of intracellular nanoparticles using multimodal imaging systems including super-resolution microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to reveal the ultimate fate of single nanoparticles upon autophagic clearance. Moreover, this study showed controlled ferroptosis upon triggered reduction of […]
