Optical imaging represents one of the most essential tools in biological studies. Although
with great advances, bio-optical imaging still suffers from problems such as resolution …

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 …

Metallic nanostructures with nanometer gaps support hybrid plasmonic modes with an
extremely small mode volume and strong local field intensity, which constitutes an attractive …

Nanomaterials exhibit structural and functional heterogeneity among individual
nanoparticles, thus requiring a capability to study single nanoparticles. While electron …

Fluorescence polarization microscopy is widely used in biology for molecular orientation
properties. However, due to the limited temporal resolution of single-molecule orientation …

Plasmonic gap modes sustained by metal film-coupled nanostructures have recently
attracted extensive research attention due to flexible control over their spectral response and …

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 …

With the advent of nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been
widely applied in various research fields ranging from photocatalysis to chemical and bio …

The single particle emission behaviours of our previously reported excitation-dependent full-
colour carbon dots (F–C dots) have been analyzed by a single-particle fluorescence …

Exploring the diffusion dynamics of a viral capsid proteins (VCP)-functionalized nanocarrier
on a living cell membrane could provide much kinetic information for the better …
