Enhanced angiography based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a noninvasive, robust, and high-resolution technique for the clinical evaluation of vascular diseases. However, effects Gd-chelating contrast agents are unsatisfactory MRI enhancement owing to their short blood half-life caused by rapid extravasation, especially in microvessels. To address these issues, nanoprobes red cell membrane-coated ultrasmall NaGdF4 nanoparticles that exhibit much higher longitudinal molar...

We report on the surprisingly strong, broadband emission of coherent terahertz pulses from ultrathin layers semiconductors such as amorphous silicon, germanium and polycrystalline cuprous oxide deposited gold, upon illumination with femtosecond laser pulses. The strength is surprising because materials are considered to be bad (amorphous silicon oxide) or fair germanium) emitters at best. show that partly explained by cavity-enhanced optical absorption. This forces most light absorbed in...
