Article Synopsis
- This study introduces implantable, biodegradable fiducial markers (FMs) designed for enhanced imaging using near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and X-ray techniques, composed of a radiopaque core and fluorescent shell made of poly(l-lactide--caprolactone).
- The research evaluated the properties of these FMs using approved contrast agents, demonstrating effective contrasting capabilities in imaging and revealing that hydroxyapatite (HAp) improved initial radiopacity while slightly affecting stability in certain formulations.
- Tissue responses around the FMs indicated that they did not cause significant adverse effects, suggesting they are suitable for use in NIRF-guided tumor surgeries and X-ray-guided radi
In this work, we reported on the development of lithography-free technology for the fabrication of nanopatterned Si substrates. The combination of two phenomena, the solid-state dewetting process and metal-assisted wet chemical etching, allowed for fabrication of Si nanocolumns on large areas in a relatively simple way. The process of dewetting the thin metal layer enabled formation of nickel nanoislands, which were used as a shadow mask in the deposition of a catalytic metal pattern.

We have experimentally shown that BP exhibits saturable absorption in the 2 μm wavelength range and supports ultrashort pulse generation. The saturable absorber was based on mechanically exfoliated BP deposited on a fiber connector tip.
