Sunscreen compositions comprising a dermatologically acceptable carrier and a polyhydroxy fullerene compound are described. The sunscreen compositions can be used to protect a substrate such as the skin of a subject from the effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Polyhydroxy fullerene sunscreen active agents and compositions

Fullerenes, when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, generate acoustic waves. A photoacoustic tomography method using a material comprising fullerenes is disclosed that includes irradiating the material with a radiation beam such as a laser. The resultant photoacoustic effect produced by the material is detected by at least one detector. A photoacoustic tomography system using a material comprising fullerenes is also described.

Use of fullerenes in photoacoustic imaging

Multimodal nanoparticles are nanoparticles containing contrast agents for PAT and one or more of luminescence imaging, x-ray imaging, and/or MRI. The multimodal nanoparticles can have a dielectric core comprising an oxide with a metal coating on the core. The particles can be metal speckled. The multimodal nanoparticles can be used for therapeutic purposes such as ablation of tumors or by neutron capture in addition to use as contrast agents for imaging.
