Labile Zn is emerging as a quantitative driver, not just a biomarker, of metastasis, yet rapid, second-resolved intracellular measurement remains elusive. Here we engineer terpyridine-functionalised, hollow Au@SiO nanocapsules (NCs@TPY) and couple their SERS signal to cell-specific partial-least-squares (PLS) chemometrics, yielding an 8-log dynamic range (10 - 10 M), a low-nanomolar detection limit and ≤4.5 % cross-validated error while rejecting Ca/Mg interference.

Tumor acidosis is a consequence of altered metabolism that primarily takes place due to lactate secretion from anaerobic glycolysis. As a result, many regions within the tumors are chronically hypoxic and acidic. To measure the intratumor pH dynamically, we have fabricated a biocompatible pH nanoparticle sensor using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS-pNPS) and monitored continuous pH levels in three-dimensional multicellular spheroids.

In this work, we present a novel wearable respiratory monitoring device based on a heterogeneously integrated highly thermosensitive and fast-response nanosensor with a flexible substrate. The sensor is designed based on the ultralow thermal capacitance concept, and the fabricated sensor has a dynamic temperature resolution of 0.016 °C and a time response of 20 μs in laser pulse heating tests and a response time of 10.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has wide application in engineering, but its use in medical sciences has aroused growing interest. In this context, ZnO nanoparticles were investigated as vehicles for the delivery of methylene blue (MB), a photosensitizer (PS) used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) against . ZnO-NPs were produced by a coprecipitation method and characterized by several techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-VIS spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
