Creative Commons Laser heating of nanosized metallic particles in fluids has been explored and exploited in many applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, including cancer treatment. Surprisingly, a systematic theoretical analysis of the phenomenon has been lacking. A team from Russia, Germany, Australia, and Singapore provides the missing analysis and offers users of the laser-heating technique simple ways of quantitatively estimating the effects of heating.
