Nanometer-scaled objects are known to have dimension-related properties, but sometimes
the assembly of such objects can lead to the emergence of other properties. Here, we show …

Monolayer-protected noble metal clusters, also called nanoclusters, can be produced with
the atomic precision and in large-scale quantity and are playing an increasingly important …

Understanding the correlation between the atomic structure and optical properties of gold
nanoclusters is essential for exploration of their functionalities and applications involving …

Acoustic vibrations of small nanoparticles are still ruled by continuum mechanics laws down
to diameters of a few nanometers. The elastic behavior at lower sizes (< 1–2 nm), where …

In photodynamic therapy (PDT), light-sensitive photosensitizers produce reactive oxygen
