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 ...

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 ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Wang Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of ...

Diagnosing some diseases could be as easy as breathing into a tube. MIT engineers have developed a test to detect ...

Nanoparticles are everywhere. Nanoparticles find a wide range of applications in biomedical applications, sensing, energy conversion, and industrial processes. But nanoparticles can also have negative ...

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), ...

A project at Brown University has developed a new approach to the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other retinal disorders. The research, from the Brown lab of Jonghwan Lee and ...

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 ...
