We highlighted recent advances in the applications of inorganic nanoparticles regarding their imaging efficacy, focusing on tumor-imaging nanomaterials such as metal-based and carbon-based nanomaterials and quantum dots. Inorganic nanoparticles gain excellent in vivo tumor-imaging functions based on their specific characteristics of strong near-infrared optical absorption and/or X-ray attenuation capability. The specific response signals from these novel nanornaterials can be captured using a series of imaging techniques, i.e., optical coherence tomography （OCT）, X-ray computed tomography （CT） imaging, two-photon luminescence （TPL）, photoacoustic tomography （PAT）, magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）, surface-enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） and positron emission tomography （PET）. In this review, we summarized the rapid development of inorganic nanomaterial applications using these analysis techniques and discussed the related safety issues of these materials.展开更多

A positronium atom has four internal spin states which are interconvertible through s-wave interactions. The quantum fields of all spin states of positroniums and photons are simulated from first principle in quasi-one-dimensional system using the truncated Wigner method. This method warrants us a full treatment of the depletion of positronium fields and the spin mixing induced by s-wave collisions between positronium atoms. Particularly,it yields the momentum spectrum of the emitted photons and the photon-photon correlations.展开更多
