Single-molecule photoreaction quantitation through intraparticle-surface energy transfer (i-SET) spectroscopy

Single-molecule sensing is very challenging due to weak emitted signals and environmental interference. Here the authors design a method (i-SET) for single molecule sensing with core-shell upconverting nanoparticles, which relies on signal enhancement by the activator-rich probes to quantify fluorop...
