The conformal window in QCD and supersymmetric QCD [PDF]
, 1999 In both QCD and supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) with N_f flavors there are conformal windows where the theory is asymptotically free in the ultraviolet while the infrared physics is governed by a non-trivial fixed-point.

Novel NIR-II fluorescent probes for biliary atresia imaging
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023 Biliary atresia is a rare infant disease that predisposes patients to liver transplantation and death if not treated in time. However, early diagnosis is challenging because the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests of biliary atresia overlap with

Fabrication of Red Blood Cell-Based Multimodal Theranostic Probes for Second Near-Infrared Window Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Tumor Surgery and Photodynamic Therapy. [PDF]
Theranostics, 2019 The therapeutic efficacy of fluorescence image-guided tumor surgery and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is impaired by the penetration depth limitation, low signal-to-noise ratio of traditional first near-infrared window (NIR I) fluorescence and the hypoxic ...

A low-absorption disk zone at low Galactic latitude in Centaurus [PDF]
, 2005 We investigate the properties of two stellar concentrations in a low-absorption disk zone in Centaurus, located respectively at $\ell=306.47^{\circ}$, $b=-0.61 ^{\circ}$, and $\ell=307.01^{\circ}$, $b=-0.74 ^{\circ}$. The present analysis is based mostly

Ultrafast photochemistry produces superbright short-wave infrared dots for low-dose in vivo imaging
Nature Communications, 2020 Deep tissue imaging has been limited by the low brightness of probes emitting in the second near-infrared window. Here, the authors use femtosecond laser irradiation to grow a protective shell on Ag2S nanoparticles, achieving 80-fold quantum yield ...
