Abstract
Heterometallic nanomaterials (HMNMs) display superior physicochemical properties and stability to monometallic counterparts, accompanied by wider applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, imaging, and therapy due to synergistic effects between multi-metals in HMNMs. So far, most reviews have mainly concentrated on introduction of their preparation approaches, morphology control and applications in catalysis, assay of heavy metal ions, and antimicrobial activity. Therefore, it is very important to summarize the latest investigations of activity modulation of HMNMs and their recent applications in sensing, imaging and therapy. Taking the above into consideration, we briefly underline appealing chemical/physical properties of HMNMs chiefly tailored through the sizes, shapes, compositions, structures and surface modification. Then, we particularly emphasize their widespread applications in sensing of targets (e.g. metal ions, small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cancer cells), imaging (frequently involving photoluminescence, fluorescence, Raman, electrochemiluminescence, magnetic resonance, X-ray computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging, etc.), and therapy (e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy). Finally, we present an outlook on their forthcoming directions. This timely review would be of great significance for attracting researchers from different disciplines in developing novel HMNMs. Heterometallic nanomaterials display wide applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, imaging and therapy due to synergistic effects between the multi-metals.![]()

Abstract
With the advent of nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been widely applied in various research fields ranging from photocatalysis to chemical and bio-sensing. PNPs efficiently convert chemical or physical stimuli in their local environment into optical signals. PNPs also have excellent properties, including good biocompatibility, large surfaces for the attachment of biomolecules, tunable optical properties, strong and stable scattering light, and good conductivity. Thus, single optical biosensors with plasmonic properties enable a broad range of uses of optical imaging techniques in biological sensing and imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the optical properties of single PNPs, the description of five types of commonly used optical imaging techniques, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) microscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, total internal reflection scattering (TIRS) microscopy, and dark-field microscopy (DFM) technique, with an emphasis on their single plasmonic nanoprobes and mechanisms for applications in biological imaging and sensing, as well as the challenges and future trends of these fields.

Abstract
As one kind of noble metal nanostructures, the plasmonic gold nanostructures possess unique optical properties as well as good biocompatibility, satisfactory stability, and multiplex functionality. These distinctive advantages make the plasmonic gold nanostructures an ideal medium in developing methods for biosensing and bioimaging. In this review, the optical properties of the plasmonic gold nanostructures were firstly introduced, and then biosensing in vitro based on localized surface plasmon resonance, Rayleigh scattering, surface-enhanced fluorescence, and Raman scattering were summarized. Subsequently, application of the plasmonic gold nanostructures for in vivo bioimaging based on scattering, photothermal, and photoacoustic techniques has been also briefly covered. At last, conclusions of the selected examples are presented and an outlook of this research topic is given.

Abstract
The facet of optical fibers coated with nanostructures enables the development of ultraminiature and sensitive (bio)chemical sensors. The sensors reported until now lack specificity, and the fabrication methods offer poor reproducibility. Here, we demonstrate that by transforming the facet of conventional multimode optical fibers onto plasmon resonance energy transfer antenna surfaces, the specificity issues may be overcome. To do so, a low-cost chemical approach was developed to immobilize gold nanoparticles on the optical fiber facet in a reproducible and controlled manner. Our nanosensors are highly selective as plasmon resonance energy transfer is a nanospectroscopic effect that only occurs when the resonance wavelength of the nanoparticles matches that of the target parameter. As an example, we demonstrate the selective detection of picomolar concentrations of copper ions in water. Our sensor is 1000 times more sensitive than the state-of-the-art technologies. An additional advantage of our nanosensors is their simple interrogation; it comprises of a low-power light-emitting diode, a multimode optical fiber coupler, and a miniature spectrometer. We believe that the plasmon resonance energy transfer-based fiber-optic platform reported here may pave the way for the development of a new generation of ultraminiature, portable, and hypersensitive and selective (bio)chemical sensors.

Abstract
We propose an in situ and label-free method for detection of biomolecular recognition events by use of a nanochannel-ion channel hybrid device integrated with an electrochemical detector. The aptamer is first immobilized on the outer surface of the nanochannel-ion channel hybrid. Its binding with target thrombin in solution considerably regulates the mass-transfer behavior of the device owing to the varied surface charge density and effective channel size. Via the electrochemical detector, the changed mass-transport property can be monitored in real time, which enables in situ and label-free detection of thrombin-aptamer recognition. The solution pH has a significant influence on detection sensitivity. Under optimal pH conditions, a detection limit as low as 0.22 fM thrombin can be achieved, which is much lower than most reported work. The present nanofluidic device provides a simple, ultrasensitive, and label-free platform for monitoring biomolecular recognition events, which would hold great potential in exploring the functions and reaction mechanisms of biomolecules in living systems.
