In the biological system, the intracellular pH (pHi) plays an important role in regulating diverse physiological activities, including enzymatic action, ion transport, cell proliferation, metabolism, and programmed cell death. The monitoring of pH inside living cells is also crucial for studying cellular events such as phagocytosis, endocytosis, an...
Chapter
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are excited in the near infrared (NIR) biological transparency window, but emits anti-Stokes shifted photons in the visible that are extremely photostable and ideally suited for biomedical imaging. First, we synthesize a UCNP-mOrange fluorescent protein conjugate that forms a Forster resonance energy transfer (FRE...
Article
Composites or hybrid materials offer diverse properties not achievable in pure materials. Here we critically review the interesting and controllable fluorescence and photothermal properties of diverse hybrid materials containing up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). These hybrids couple plasmons, photonic crystals, bio-surfaces, and two dimensional...

Fipronil and its metabolite fipronil sulfone, when found in some food products, such as eggs, have caused major public health concerns. In this study, we used gold nanorods (AuNRs) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites to fabricate a layer-by-layer assembled three dimensional (3D) substrate for toxin detection by surface enhanced Raman scattering...
Article
Graphene oxide (GO) and gold nanorods (AuNRs) have been extensively evaluated for broadband (325-980 nm) photothermal (PT) heat generation and efficiency, on substrates having contrasting thermal conductivities. Infrared thermal imaging of the PT agents under broadband irradiation showed a maximum rise of local temperature of chicken kidney tissue...

Fluorescence based intracellular pH nanoprobes have been developed that overcomes the limitations imposed by shallow penetration depth of ultraviolet excitation, photostability, phototoxicity, and interference from background autofluorescence. In this study, we have constructed a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) based pH nanoprobe using upc...
Article
Hybrid or composite nanomaterials have emerged that demonstrates superior optoelectronic performance over pure nanomaterials that lacks broadband usage, or responsivity, or both, mainly because of the limitation of the collection of photogenerated carriers. We have addressed this problem by using a composite of MoS2 and a multi-photon absorbing lan...
Article
An "all optical" methodology, including Raman and optical transmission spectroscopy, is presented to study the thermal degradation in edible oils. Oils rich in monounsaturated (MU), polyunsaturated (PU), and saturated (S) fatty acids (FA) were heated above and below their smoke point (∼230 ℃). While the intensity (I) of the identified saturated (C-...
Article
980 nm multiphoton absorbing lanthanide doped up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are emerging as fluorophores, and photothermal agents, but limited by the low quantum yield of its visible fluorescence. In a way similar to metal enhanced fluorescence, we demonstrate that a monolayer of graphene could quench the 540 nm (green) fluorescence from the...
Article
We demonstrate that the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) fluoresce 50 times more on a gold (Au) coated Cicada wing. UCNPs are attractive bioimaging, and therapeutic materials as it is excited in the infrared, limited only by the low fluorescence quantum yield. Here, a plasmonic effect, coupled with an anti-reflecting (AR) Cicada wing substrate co...

Question
I am here for specific answers or a list of investigation tools to determine the newly developed drugs/inhibitors/medicines.
Question
Why does the response time of the photodetector change with the chopper frequency of incident illumination?
Question
How does Doxycycline-an antibiotic, helps in the recovery process of Covid-19 positive patient?
Question
What is the Electrical Conductance of Borophene (in e^2/h or Siemens)?
Question
I am looking for a straight forwards application timeline (past 20 years) of major achievements in FRET applications.
Question
This question is more based on technical insight of Plagiarism checker software. How could they detect a sentence that has the from another reported article? What are the criteria for sentences/statements are considered plagiarised? and how can plagiarism software know about it?
Question
I am keen to explore, if there's any effect of Donor's Lifetime on its energy transfer ability to acceptor molecule, in FRET.
For example, if we have a donor of lifetime longer (I would say much longer) than the acceptor molecule, will this affect the energy transfer efficiency, making it low/high?
On the hand, if donor-acceptor conventionally have a similar magnitude of lifetime (say YFP/CFP, how high or low will be the energy transfer efficiency.
Question
I am just a beginner in cell culture. I opt HeLa cells as the first.
As of now, I know, to culture any cells, we need media, antibiotics and many other reagents. However, depending on each cell type above mentioned reagent condition changes. For HeLa cells, what is the best reagent conditions is acceptable? I have found tons of document to learn from. Eventually, some are conflicting with each other. For example, some says DMEM (High Glucose, L-Glutamine)+10%FBS is suitable, Some says DMEM (High Glucose+Pyruvate) is suitable, and some says EMEM is suitable.
I would highly highly appreciate all your inputs, comes from your research experience and expertise.
N.B.: I will need HeLa cells for not to perform any core biological study but for Biomedical Imaging purpose.
Question
I intend to start working on HeLa cells and I read online that, the doubling time of HeLa cells is ~20.67 hrs. But, meanwhile, I was told by a colleague of mine that when HeLa cells grows old (not sure if I am using the correct terminology- 'grow old' or old generation), need about 48 hrs to become double of its number. Why is it so?
I would appreciate all your answers.
Thank you!
Question
We fabricated two Photoconductor type MoS2 based Photodetector device. In one we noticed Positive photoresponse and Negative photoresponse on the other. How to define and explain these two phenomena in terms of carrier movement or any other mechanism. Basically I would appreciate if anyone could explain the correct definition of positive and negative photoresponse in photodetector devices.
TIA.
Question
Recently, I have investigated vibration modes in NaGdF4 nanocrystal, and I came across of some bands in the resulting spectrum , somewhere at ~250, 300, and 360 cm-1. Somehow, I could not able to find any references to quantify and back the analysis. I would be grateful, if anyone insight me with your great knowledge related to this situation.
Thanks in advance and hope to hear from someone soon.
Question
Why the MoS2 single layer has the direct and larger band gap compare to its bulk counterparts, which has smaller but indirect band gap.
Question
Oleic acid ligand on as prepared nanoparticles (dispersed in cyclohexane) has been exchanged by the citric acid ligand with -COOH terminated at its end and could be dispersed in water. I am just curious how these new ligands on the nanoparticles' surface will affect on lifetime (fluorescence), will it let the lifetime decrese or increase?
Question
Hi everyone, 
I want to prepare following two different buffer with different pH stock (20 ml each). 
1. Citrate buffer (pH: 3, 4, 5, and 6)
2. Phosphate buffer (pH: 7, 8)
I would be grateful if someone provides me the direct protocol and chemical name to be used in order to prepare these mentioned buffers.
N.B: I am not expert in chemistry, the theory/equations behind the buffer chemistry would be much appreciated. 
Thank you in advance.
