Nano materials hold great promise for fundamental biological research as well as biomedical applications. Mechanistic understandings for the nano materials actions, however, is often challenging due to the inhomogeneity in the nano materials themselves and the complexity of biological media such as serum or live cells. Studying nano-bio interactions in real time at the single-particle level in principle should alleviate some of the difficulties and could bring about new insights that are unavailable otherwise. In this report, we will discuss some new tools that are being developed, e.g., 3D multi-resolution imaging, and their implications in future applications.
