X-ray-induced afterglow and radiodynamic therapy tackle the tissue penetration issue of optical imaging and phototherapy. However, inorganic nanophosphors used in this therapy have their radio afterglow dynamic function as always on, limiting the detection specificity and treatment efficacy. Here we...
