The AZoNano.com "Nanotech Thought Leaders" series is a collection of articles that cover the key technology areas where Nanotechnology is making an impact and where it will make an increasing impact. All the articles are written by experts who have been invited as recognised leaders in their fields to provide a "state of the art" contribution.
In this interview, Gang Han tells AZoNano about his work on photoluminescent nanoparticles, which show great promise for super-resolution microscopy and deep-tissue imaging.
