The study of nanoparticles and plasmonic phenomena has emerged as a vibrant field at the intersection of physics, chemistry and materials science. Nanoparticles—structures with dimensions in the ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240011 , discusses control of light–matter interactions in two-dimensional materials with nanoparticle-on-mirror structures.

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Electron Beam Lithography is a high-resolution patterning technique that uses a focused electron beam to write patterns on a substrate coated with an electron-sensitive resist. After developing the ...

This exchange is almost inevitable whenever plasmonic nanostructures come up in a discussion. Now, researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and international ...

Air quality has been deteriorating throughout the world due to emissions from power plants, automobiles, and industrial processes. In addition, organics used in indoor building materials, carpets, ...

Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine have developed a method that pairs engineered nanoparticles with machine learning algorithms to detect trace toxic pollutants in complex ...

Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons at the conductor-dielectric interface, driven by an external electromagnetic field. These waves, known as surface plasmon waves (SPWs), ...

At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling amount of energy. But right now, our best technologies are essentially trying to ...

A firefly drifts above a plain, featureless ground, its glow spreading broadly and fading into the dark—beautiful yet unfocused, long believed to be its natural fate. However, as the firefly crosses ...
