Advances and Challenges of Fluorescent Nanomaterials for Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

Abstract With the rapid development of nanotechnology, new types of fluorescent nanomaterials (FNMs) have been springing up in the past two decades. The nanometer scale endows FNMs with unique optical properties which play a critical role in their applications in bioimaging and fluorescence-dependen...
