a Representative images showing the cavitation events as bright spots generated by MSN based GSNs under HIFU insonation of nanoparticles with or without BSA coating in ethanol (90%) or water (top). Calculated relative intensities from the acquired movies of nanoparticles during HIFU insonation (bottom). b Nanoparticle tracking analysis of the nanoparticles in water. Insets show the TEM images. Scale bars are 50 nm. Nanoparticles; MCM-48MD: hydrophobically modified MSNs using methyltrimethoxysilane, MCM-48R: MSNs with rough nanoparticle surfaces.
