  Author(s): Qing Xiang and Paulo Cesar MoraisQing Xiang and Paulo Cesar Morais
  
  The huge demand for biocompatible, robust, accurate and noninvasive technology to assess the temperature of a biological targeted site for monitoring the hyperthermia effect brings the topic of remote thermometry to a very high level of interest. There are already promising research directions to fulfil such demand in the short term and a review of the achievements in this issue is certainly worth. This report offers an overview of the research regarding the most promising nanothermometers nowadays, with emphasis on those addressed to remote operation while using optical or magnetic responses of nanosized materials as the thermometric property. More specifically the optical emission intensity, optical emission peak shift and optical emission lifetime will be covered as far as the optical-based nanothermometers are concerned. Additionally, for the magnetic-based nanothermometers the ma.. View More»
