Navigating through these models has become challenging due to their varying thermodynamic backgrounds and potential compatibility issues. Furthermore, recent discoveries in the field of non-Fourier heat conduction have complicated the interpretation and utilization of specific non-Fourier heat equations, especially when designing materials for the new generation of thermal metamaterials. The situation is further compounded by the existence of numerous modeling strategies in the literature, each offering different interpretations of even the same heat equation. This complexity makes it increasingly difficult to gain a comprehensive understanding of this research field. Therefore, this review aims to facilitate the navigation of advanced heat equations beyond Fourier by discussing their properties and potential practical applications in the context of experiments.

A promising nanotherapy approach is hyperthermia, where the nanoparticle can induce a local temperature increase by an external stimulus in the sick tissue to selectively kill the malignant cells. Among the diverse hyperthermia methods, photothermia is based on the absorption of light by the nanoparticles and further conversion into heat. Within the very wide range of nanostructured photothermal agents, iron oxides offer remarkable features since they are already approved by the FDA/EMA for various biomedical applications, they are biodegradable, easily manipulated using magnetic fields and can be imaged by diverse techniques. Here, we summarize the advantages of using the second biological window, both from the perspective of the skin and the optical properties of iron oxides. Further, we review the photothermal performance of iron oxide nanoparticles in the first, second and third biological windows.
