Abstract
Fluorescent silver nanoclusters, in particular DNA stabilized (templated) silver nanoclusters, have attracted much attention because of their molecule-like optical properties, strong fluorescence and good biocompatibility. In this feature article, we summarize the DNA stabilized silver nanoclusters from the viewpoints of synthesis, optical properties, as well as recent applications in biological detection and imaging.
