Nano- and biophotonics is a multidisciplinary scientificallyrising field connecting together chemists, material engineers,physicists, optical engineers, and biologists. The field hashigh academic as well as industrial significance involvingdevelopment of various devices usable for data sensing andmanipulation, for example, for optics communication, aswell as monitoring techniques that may be applicable fordetection of cancer and other common diseases. The papersaccepted for publication in this special issue implementthe above-mentioned general description while showing thecapability of various scientific disciplines to be implementedfor biophotonic and biomedical applications.
In the paper entitled “Uniformly immobilizing goldnanorods on a glass substrates” the authors present a newtechnique for uniformly disposing gold nanorods andnanoparticles on glass substrate. This activity can be appli-cable for biomedical imaging and treatment applications inwhich the nanoparticles are used to backscatter the appliedillumination or when they are heated by external electro-magnetic or photonic source in order to kill cancer cells thatare in proximity to the nanoparticles.
In the paper entitled “An analytic analysis of the diffusiveheat flow equation for different magnetic field profiles fora single magnetic nanoparticle” magnetic nanoparticles arebeing utilized to kill cancer cells. In this case the externalmagnetic field heats the nanorods and thereafter the cancercells as well. The paper presents a physical modeling to theheat flow equation and numerically predicts the impact ofthe external magnetic field on the time-varying temperatureof the nanoparticles.
In the paper entitled “A self-powered medical devicefor blood irradiation therapy,” the authors present a novel
biomedical treatment device based upon special pill that ispowered due to the flow of blood in the veins. The pill isused to illuminate the blood vein internally thereby realizingblood irradiation therapy.
The paper entitled “The effect of nanoparticle size on cellu-lar binding probability” is once again aiming for biomedicalapplications in which nanoparticles are used to detect andcure cancer cells. The paper discusses the probability for thebinding of the particles to such cells as a function of their sizeand dimensional proportions.
The paper entitled “Integrated polypyrrole flexible con-ductors for biochips and MEMS applications” deals with thedevelopment and characterization of integrated polypyrroleflexible conductors. Such conductors can be used as partof biochips or as part of micro-electromechanical system(MEMS) devices for biomedical procedures.
