In recent years of research, it has been discovered that noble metal nanoparticles, due to their exceptional optical properties, have unique applications in nanoscience. Scientists believe that plasmonic nanoparticles can be utilized as nano heaters, opening new avenues of research at the nanoscale. Plasmonic nanoparticles act as nano heaters that can be controlled remotely by light, resulting in the emergence of an evolving field known as Thermoplasmonic. The goal of all Thermoplasmonic applications is to significantly improve the photothermal conversion of plasmonic nanoparticles, but different sizes of nanoparticles present challenges. The present paper describes the photothermal effect induced by plasmonic nanoparticles of different nano geometry that act as nano sources of heat. Further, basic understanding and some simulation techniques for measuring the heat unleashed by plasmonic nanoparticles at the nanoscale order, as well as recent advances summarized for the application of Thermoplasmonic, specifically to biomedical applications using the photothermal effect, particularly for photothermal cancer therapy, drug and gene delivery, photothermal imaging, and nano-surgery
