Abstract
The propulsion and acceleration of nanoparticles with light have both fundamental and applied significance across many disciplines. Needle-free injection of biomedical nano cargoes into living tissues is among the examples. Here a new physical mechanism of laser-induced particle acceleration is explored, based on abnormal optothermal expansion of mesoporous vaterite cargoes. Vaterite nanoparticles, a metastable form of calcium carbonate, are placed on a substrate, underneath a target phantom, and accelerated toward it with the aid of a short femtosecond laser pulse. Light absorption followed by picosecond-scale thermal expansion is shown to elevate the particle's center of mass thus causing acceleration. It is shown that a 2 µm size vaterite particle, being illuminated with 0.5 W average power 100 fsec IR laser, is capable to overcome van der Waals attraction and acquire 15m sec-1 velocity. The demonstrated optothermal laser-driven needle-free injection into a phantom layer and Xenopus oocyte in vitro promotes the further development of light-responsive nanocapsules, which can be equipped with additional optical and biomedical functions for delivery, monitoring, and controllable biomedical dosage to name a few.

Abstract
The growing biomedical challenges impose the continuous development of novel platforms. Ensuring the biocompatibility of drug delivery and implantable biomedical devices is an essential requirement. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of vaterite nanoparticles is a promising platform, which has demonstrated distinctive optical and biochemical properties, including high porosity and metastability. In this study, the biocompatibility of differently shaped CaCO3 vaterite particles (toroids, ellipsoids, and spheroids) are evaluated by bacterial toxicity mode-of-action with a whole-cell biosensor. Different Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains were used in the bioluminescent assay, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and quorum-sensing. Firstly, both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy characterizations were conducted. Bacterial cell death and aggregates were observed only in the highest tested concentration of the vaterite particles, especially in toroids 15-25 µm. After, the bioluminescent bacterial panel was exposed to the vaterite particles, and their bioluminescent signal reflected their toxicity mode-of-action. The vaterite particles resulted in an induction factor (IF > 1) on the bacterial panel, which was higher after exposure to the toroids (1.557 ≤ IF ≤ 2.271) and ellipsoids particles (1.712 ≤ IF ≤ 2.018), as compared to the spheroids particles (1.134 ≤ IF ≤ 1.494), in all the tested bacterial strains. Furthermore, the vaterite particles did not affect the viability of the bacterial cells. The bacterial monitoring demonstrated the biofriendly nature of especially spheroids vaterite nanoparticles.

Abstract
Mesoscopic photonic systems with tailored optical responses have great potential to open new frontiers in implantable biomedical devices. However, biocompatibility is typically a problem, as engineering of optical properties often calls for using toxic compounds and chemicals, unsuitable for in vivo applications. Here, a unique approach to biofriendly delivery of optical resonances is demonstrated. It is shown that the controllable infusion of gold nanoseeds into polycrystalline sub-micrometer vaterite spherulites gives rise to a variety of electric and magnetic Mie resonances, producing a tuneable mesoscopic optical metamaterial. The 3D reconstruction of the spherulites demonstrates the capability of controllable gold loading with volumetric filling factors exceeding 28%. Owing to the biocompatibility of the constitutive elements, "golden vaterite" paves the way to introduce designer-made Mie resonances to cutting-edge biophotonic applications. This concept is exemplified by showing efficient laser heating of gold-filled vaterite spherulites at red and near-infrared wavelengths, highly desirable in photothermal therapy, and photoacoustic tomography.

Abstract
Being the polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), vaterite and calcite have attracted a great deal of attention as promising biomaterials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, they are important biogenic minerals, enabling living organisms to reach specific functions. In nature, vaterite and calcite monocrystals typically form self-assembled polycrystal micro- and nanoparticles, also referred to as spherulites. Here, we demonstrate that alpine plants belonging to the Saxifraga genus can tailor light scattering channels and utilize multipole interference effect to improve light collection efficiency via producing CaCO3 polycrystal nanoparticles on the margins of their leaves. To provide a clear physical background behind this concept, we study optical properties of artificially synthesized vaterite nanospherulites and reveal the phenomenon of directional light scattering. Dark-field spectroscopy measurements are supported by a comprehensive numerical analysis, accounting for the complex microstructure of particles. We demonstrate the appearance of generalized Kerker condition, where several higher order multipoles interfere constructively in the forward direction, governing the interaction phenomenon. As a result, highly directive forward light scattering from vaterite nanospherulites is observed in the entire visible range. Furthermore, ex vivo studies of microstructure and optical properties of leaves for the alpine plants Saxifraga "Southside Seedling" and Saxifraga Paniculata Ria are performed and underline the importance of the Kerker effect for these living organisms. Our results pave the way for a bioinspired strategy of efficient light collection by self-assembled polycrystal CaCO3 nanoparticles via tailoring light propagation directly to the photosynthetic tissue with minimal losses to undesired scattering channels.
