During the experiments, they conducted hot electron tunneling via laser excitation to contribute to the conductance of nanogaps. Zhang et al. noted a blue shift of the coupled plasmons upon laser ...
This study focuses on V2O3-x nanoparticles and systematically analyzes them as plasmonic solar-driven catalysts for the first time. It reveals that they exhibit the localized surface plasmon resonance ...
Researchers at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, have developed a light-driven catalytic system based on Au/NiCo2O4 ...
A new metasurface design greatly improves light emission in atomically thin materials, offering a path to low-power, flexible, high-brightness display technologies. But there’s a problem: even though ...
Scientists are harnessing light-sensitive nanoparticle sensors to detect chemicals in real time, no lab prep needed. They have potential in medicine, pollution tracking, and in industry. Image Credit: ...
Plasmonics is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and free electrons in a metal. When light strikes a metal nanostructure, it can excite collective oscillations of the free ...
Why electrical circuits operating at optical frequencies is an attractive opportunity. How a new plasmonic arrangement is used to mix electrical signals at optical frequencies. The advantages and ...
Some key applications of gold nanoparticles include photonics, medicine and catalysis. 3 Gold nanoparticles have a high absorption cross-section in the visible and infrared regions, which can be tuned ...
Do you know more than 50 percent of microplastic pollution in our oceans comes from color paints? Almost every object that people throw into the ocean, whether it be a broken toy, a small bottle cap, ...
