Plasmonic Gold Nanostars: A Potential Agent for Molecular Imaging and Cancer Therapy

Gold nanostars, with tunable plasmon in the near infrared tissue optic window, generate intense two-photon photoluminescence capable of in vitro cell labeling and in vivo particle tracking. Efficient photothermal ablation therapy is also demonstrated.
