Compartmentalization of gold nanoparticle clusters in hollow silica spheres and their assembly induced by an external electric field [PDF]
, 2020 Assembly of plasmonic nanoparticle clusters having hotspots in a specific space is an effective way to efficiently utilize their plasmonic properties. In the assembly, however, bulk-like aggregates of the nanoparticles are readily formed by strong van ...

Viruses and the physics of soft condensed matter [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Almost 50 years ago, Francis Crick and James Watson observed that “almost all small viruses are either spheres or rods” and put forth the hypothesis that such viruses were symmetrical arrays of subunits (1). In the following paper in that issue of Nature , Donald Caspar demonstrated that tomato bushy stunt virus had at least cubic symmetry and provided
