Molecular-sized fluorescent nanodiamonds.
Doping of carbon nanoparticles with impurity atoms is central to their application. However, doping has proven elusive for very small carbon nanoparticles because of their limited availability and a lack of fundamental understanding of impurity stability in such nanostructures. Here, we show that isolated diamond nanoparticles as small as 1.6 nm, comprising only ∼400 carbon atoms, are capable o...
متن کاملSuper-resolution imaging of synaptic and Extra-synaptic AMPA receptors with different-sized fluorescent probes
Previous studies tracking AMPA receptor (AMPAR) diffusion at synapses observed a large mobile extrasynaptic AMPAR pool. Using super-resolution microscopy, we examined how fluorophore size and photostability affected AMPAR trafficking outside of, and within, post-synaptic densities (PSDs) from rats. Organic fluorescent dyes (≈4 nm), quantum dots, either small (≈10 nm diameter; sQDs) or big (>20 ...
متن کاملMolecular electronics: connection across nano-sized electrode gaps.
Prefabricated nano-scale structures in which gold electrodes are separated by an insulating core permit self-assembly of a single string "molecular necklace" around its circumference; these devices require no further invasive metal deposition following molecular insertion and exhibit symmetrical current-voltage (I-V) curves that mimic those of self-assembled films on planar substrates.
متن کاملPhotoacoustic emission from fluorescent nanodiamonds enhanced with gold nanoparticles
Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have drawn much attention in recent years for biomedical imaging applications due to their desired physical properties including excellent photostability, high biocompatibility, extended far-red fluorescence emission, and ease of surface functionalization. Here we explore a new feature of FNDs, i.e. their photoacoustic emission capability, which may lead to poten...
متن کاملExposure to Nano-Sized Particles and the Emergence of Contemporary Diseases with a Focus on Epigenetics
Mankind has been exposed to airborne nano-sized particles for eons, yet mechanization and industrialization of societies has increased the overall aerosol pollution load to which humans are exposed to. Nano-aerosols with a diameter below 1 μm, can be incorporated via any biological surface structure and in particular when the area available is large enough – as is the case with the skin (approx...
