Summary: The photothermal conversion efficiency of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) at different concentrations and irradiation intensities was evaluated. Results showed that under NIR broadband irradiation, higher efficiencies were achieved for nanoparticles with different absorption wavelengths. Lower concentrations of nanoparticles demonstrated significantly higher efficiencies under NIR broadband irradiation. For certain sizes of GNRS, the efficiency was comparable for both NIR laser and broadband irradiation. Increasing the irradiation power resulted in higher efficiencies under NIR laser irradiation. These findings provide valuable insights for plasmonic photothermal applications.

Summary: A brand-new composite catalyst called ZnFe2O4/Fe3O4@MWCNTs (ZFC) was developed to activate PDS and create a cost-effective synergistic photothermal persulfate system. The ZFC/PDS system showed a high decolorization rate for reactive blue KN-R under near-infrared light, and maintained good cycling performance. The DFT calculations and experimental results were in agreement, confirming the effectiveness of the system. Analysis of the degradation route of ampicillin and its environmental impact suggested that this system could be an environmentally friendly method for removing antibiotics.

Summary: Cognitive function is a crucial ability of the brain, but it can be impaired in various neurological conditions or diseases. Photobiomodulation therapy, a noninvasive physical therapy, has emerged in the field of neuroscience. Transcranial photobiomodulation is commonly used to regulate neural activity in the superficial cortex, while advanced techniques involving photosensitive nanoparticles have been developed to stimulate deeper brain activity. This review examines the mechanisms, advantages, disadvantages, and potential applications of photobiomodulation and its combination with photosensitive nanoparticles on neurons and neural networks. These strategies may offer promising treatments for cognitive improvement.

Summary: The development of efficient antibacterial agents is crucial for public health. In this study, we investigated the bactericidal effect of simultaneous heat and nitric oxide (NO) generated by near-infrared (NIR) light using vanadyl naphthalocyanine-doped polymer dots (P-dots). P-dots co-doped with vanadyl naphthalocyanine and N-nitroso compounds released NO and generated heat upon NIR light irradiation, resulting in enhanced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Summary: Immunometabolic modulation through a second near-infrared (NIR-II) photothermally activatable semiconducting polymeric nanoantagonist (ASPA) provides a new approach for synergistic photothermal immunometabolic therapy of cancer. This remotely controlled immunometabolic regulation enhances cytotoxic T cell functions, suppresses regulatory T cell activities, and leads to efficient primary tumor inhibition, pulmonary metastasis prevention, and long-term immunological memory. This work offers a generic polymeric approach for precise spatiotemporal regulation of cancer immunometabolism.

Summary: The global threat of pathogenic bacterial infections increasing mortality rates has spurred the urgent need for new antibacterial agents that can effectively kill bacteria. This study demonstrates that SnS nanosheets synthesized with strong near-infrared absorption performance exhibit excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and antibacterial performance under 808 nm laser, showing significant sterilization effects against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The findings suggest that SnS nanosheets have the potential to be a promising candidate for antibacterial therapy due to their synergistic photothermal and photodynamic effects.

Summary: Artificial protein cages, such as TRAP-cages, have potential applications in vaccines and drug delivery. TRAP-cages have the ability to control the disassembly conditions by modifying the interface between their building blocks. By using TRAP rings with different numbers of monomers, it is possible to predict the formation of other cages.
