Probing nanoantenna-directed photothermal destruction of tumors using noninvasive laser irradiation

Plasmonic nanomaterials have tremendous potential to improve the tumor specificity of traditional cancer ablation practices, yet little effort has been directed toward quantitatively understanding their photothermal energy conversion in tumor tissues. In the present work, we develop a predictive mod...
