Nano-cavities are made up of an orderly series of tiny, interconnected molecules that essentially reflect, or circulate, light. Gan already has shown that his nano-cavity structures increase the ...

Raman and infrared spectroscopies are important tools for chemical analysis at the molecular level, providing key information such as the chemical bonding of a system to be measured. However, Raman ...

Thiols typically form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold. Now, Japanese researchers from Kumamoto University have found a way to adsorb thiol at a particular site on the gold surface. By ...

A research team led by Pasquale Scarlino at EPFL has built a small, tunable detector capable of sensing individual microwave ...

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 ...
