This work reviews our recent progress in development of novel optical methods of detection
of mycotoxins in direct assay with either specific antibodies or aptamers. The main method in …

A paradigm shift from nanotechnology to nanoarchitectonics is necessary. Individual nano-
objects are required to be constructed into functional nanoarchitectures in order to develop …

The self-assembly of colloidal nanocrystals remains of robust interest due to its potential in
creating hierarchical nanomaterials that have advanced function. For gold nanocrystals …

The facile preparation of arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles over a square centimeter surface
area is reported. The developed method relies on tailored laser interference lithography …

Gold nanostructure arrays exhibit surface plasmon resonances that split after attaching light
harvesting complexes 1 and 2 (LH1 and LH2) from purple bacteria. The splitting is attributed …

Plexcitonic antenna complexes, inspired by photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, are
formed by attachment of chlorophylls (Chl) to poly (cysteine methacrylate)(PCysMA) …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) nanoarchitectonics involve the creation of functional material
assemblies and structures at the nanoscopic level by combining and organizing nanoscale …

Nanotechnology demands the synthesis of highly precise, functional materials, tailored for
specific applications. One such example is bit patterned media. These high-density …

Abstract Synthesizing Au 0.8 Si 0.2 nanocatalysts that are homogeneous in size and have
controlled position is becoming a challenging and crucial prequisite for the fabrication of …

In strong plasmon–exciton coupling, a surface plasmon mode is coupled to an array of
localized emitters to yield new hybrid light–matter states (plexcitons), whose properties may …
