Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

The absorption of light by plasmonic nanostructures and their associated temperature
increase are exquisitely sensitive to the shape and composition of the structure and to the …

Using light to manipulate fluids has been a long-sought-after goal for lab-on-a-chip
applications to address the size mismatch between bulky external fluid controllers and …

Common cameras are only sensitive to the intensity of light, discarding an essential feature
of a light wave: its phase profile or, equivalently, its wavefront profile. This Review focuses …

Assemblies of closely separated gold nanoparticles exhibit a strong collective plasmonic
response due to coupling of the plasmon modes of the individual nanostructures. In the …

We describe a fluctuating volume-current formulation of electromagnetic fluctuations that
extends our recent work on heat exchange and Casimir interactions between arbitrarily …

Thermophiles are microorganisms that thrive at high temperature. Studying them can
provide valuable information on how life has adapted to extreme conditions. However, high …

Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, colloidal gold nanoparticles have
prompted a wide variety of biocompatible nano-agents for cancer imaging, diagnosis and …

The dearth of potential of diagnostic and treatment methods hinders the fight against tumors.
The advances in nanotechnology are emerging, expressing countless latent applications …

Laser heating of individual cells in culture recently led to seminal studies in cell poration,
fusion, migration, or nanosurgery, although measuring the local temperature increase in …
