The future of medicine may very well lie in the personalization of health care—knowing exactly what an individual needs and ...

This work reports the design of an efficient multiband UC system based on Ln3+/Yb3+-doped core-shell upconversion ...

Caltech engineers have developed a technique that enables the mass production of sweat sensors to monitor biomarkers.

Bimetallic core-shell particles are nanoparticles ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers. Their core and shell consist of different metals. Nanoparticles, unlike ordinary particles, possess ...

"There are many chronic conditions and their biomarkers that these sensors now give us the possibility to monitor continuously and noninvasively," says Gao, who is the corresponding author on a paper ...

Caltech manufactures wearable sweat sensors equipped with special nanoparticles that inkjet print a biomarker, ...

Gao and his team describe the nanoparticles as core-shell cubic nanoparticles. The cubes are formed in a solution that includes the molecule that the researchers want to track -- for example ...

Encapsulated metal nanoparticles are a special class of nanoparticles where the metal core is surrounded by a protective shell or matrix. The encapsulation layer can be composed of various materials, ...
