This review describes the growing partnership between super-resolution imaging and
plasmonics, by describing the various ways in which the two topics mutually benefit one …

In his 1665 treatise, Micrographia, Robert Hooke described the many observations he had
made using a microscope, including compartment-like structures in cork samples that he …

The development of a new set of tools is often a culminating point in humanity's
understanding and harnessing of nature. So-called" micro/nanomotors" are artificial …

Consequently, many excellent reviews have been published, covering different aspects of
nanomaterials for chemical analysis. 1− 6 The present Review focuses on applications of …

Meeting the nanometre resolution promised by super-resolution microscopy techniques
(pointillist: PALM, STORM, scanning: STED) requires stabilizing the sample drifts in real time …

We report an automated single particle tracking technique for tracking the x, y, z coordinates,
azimuthal and elevation angles of anisotropic plasmonic gold nanorod probes in live cells …

That is nothing new of course. Without knowing any physics, medieval artists produced
stained glass windows that we still admire today after being exposed to sunlight for …

Dark-field microscopy (DFM) and spectroscopy base on localized surface plasmon
resonance (LSPR) have been widely applied in biological sensing and single-molecule …

Conspectus Interest in nanoparticles has vigorously increased over the last 20 years as
more and more studies show how their use can potentially revolutionize science and …

Multivalent presentation of ligands on nanoparticles (NPs) is considered a general strategy
for enhancing receptor binding and activation through amplification of ligand–receptor …
