title: Near infra-red photoluminescent graphene nanoparticles greatly expand their use in noninvasive biomedical imaging.
abstract: A simple reaction process is developed to synthesize blue, green, yellow and red colour graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) from carbon fibers. Here, we have focused on synthesis of near infra-red GNPs and their biological application for optical imaging of deep tissues and organs.
