title: Hybrid nanostructures for high-sensitivity luminescence nanothermometry in the second biological window.
abstract: Hybrid nanostructures containing neodymium-doped nanoparticles and infrared-emitting quantum dots constitute highly sensitive luminescent thermometers operating in the second biological window. They demonstrate that accurate subtissue fluorescence thermal sensing is possible.
