Carbon nanotubes as multifunctional biological transporters and near-infrared agents for selective cancer cell destruction

Nadine Wong Shi Kam, Michael O'Connell, Jeffrey A. Wisdom +1

Biological systems are known to be highly transparent to 700-1100nm near-infrared (NIR) light. It is shown here that the strong optical absorbance of single-walled carbon nanotubes…
