Abstract

Cancer Phototherapy In article number 2404591, Aiguo Wu, Milana Trifkovic, and co-workers present the first utilization of asphaltenes-derived carbon dots for tumor treatment. Unlike typical carbon dots that emit light when excited with near infrared, the asphaltenes-derived carbon dots uniquely undergo a series of non-radiative transitions to generate sufficient heat for thermal destruction of tumors.
