Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are a promising material for electrochemical and optical biosensing applications. Their small dimensions, large surface area, indefinite photostability, and remarkable electronic properties make SWCNTs an ideal trans ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit photostable near-infrared fluorescence that is conducive for optical glucose monitoring. Such SWCNT-based optical sensors often require the immobilization of proteins that can confer glucose selectivity and reac ...

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is inherently sensitive to the absence of spatial centrosymmetry, which can render it intrinsically sensitive to interfacial processes, chemical changes and electrochemical responses. Here, we seek to improve the imaging th ...

Demands of higher spatial and temporal resolutions in linear and nonlinear imaging keep pushing the limits of optical microscopy. We showed recently that a multiphoton microscope with 200 kHz repetition rate and wide-field illumination has a 2–3 orders of ...

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the few photostable optical emitters that are ideal for sensing, imaging, drug delivery, and monitoring of protein activity. These applications often require strategies for immobilizing prote ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique optoelectronic properties that make them suitable for applications ranging from phototherapy to imaging and sensing, but their uptake has mainly been explored in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors explore ...

Fluorescence microscopy in the second near-infrared optical window (NIR-II, 1000–1350 nm) has become a technique of choice for non-invasive in vivo imaging. The deep penetration of NIR light in living tissue, as well as negligible tissue autofluorescence w ...

Nonlinear microscopes have seen an increase in popularity in the life sciences due to their molecular and structural specificity, high resolution, large penetration depth, and volumetric imaging capability. Nonetheless, the inherently weak optical signals ...

Sensors comprising B-L-S; wherein: B is a biomolecule comprising one or more surface-exposed thiol moieties, L is a thiol reactive linking group, and S is a substrate; wherein L is covalently linked to B via the one or more surface-exposed thiol moieties. ...

This study presents a reversible, mediatorless, near-infrared glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase-wrapped SWCNTs. A combination of fluorescence, absorption, and Raman spectroscopy measurements suggest a fluorescence enhancement mechanism based on local ...
