A project at Michigan State University ( MSU) has now developed a new way to stimulate crystal growth using laser pulses, ...

Twisted graphene precisely aligned with gold nanodisks and coupled with CRISPR achieves attomolar detection of cancer ...

Both surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and its counterpart, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy, have been accepted as important means for carrying out not only ...

Researchers have demonstrated that stretching shape-memory polymers embedded with clusters of gold nanoparticles alters their plasmon-coupling, giving rise to desirable optical properties. One ...

Nanostars are a type of nanoparticle consisting of a spherical core and multiple branches, resembling a ‘star’. Nanoparticles are defined by their size, 1-100 nm, and nanostars have been produced ...

Photoacoustic tomography is different to ultrasound imaging, which uses sound waves emitted and detected by a device outside the body and relies on the properties of biological tissues to generate an ...

In Science Advances, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign demonstrate how resonant transfer of energy ...

The basic working principle of colorimetric sensing is colorimetry, which is a visible change in color that results from a chemical interaction between the sensing/detecting material and the target ...
