Galvanic Replacement Reaction as a Route to Prepare Nanoporous Aluminum for UV Plasmonics
There is a growing interest in extending plasmonics applications into the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Noble metals are commonly used in plasmonic, but their intrinsic optical properties limit their use above 350 nm.

Enhancing Antibodies’ Binding Capacity through Oriented Functionalization of Plasmonic Surfaces
Protein A has long been used in different research fields due to its ability to specifically recognize immunoglobulins (Ig). The protein derived from Staphylococcus aureus binds Ig through the Fc region of the antibody, showing its strongest binding in ...

Fluorescent turn-on sensors based on pyrene-containing Schiff base derivatives for Cu2+ recognition: spectroscopic and DFT computational studies [PDF]
A new fluorescent chemosensor L1, pyrene containing long chain Schiff base derivative in 1-position has been synthesized. Similarly, the receptors L2 and L3 are also designed in order to compare the binding ability for detection of Cu2+.

Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence Solution-Based Sensing Platform [PDF]
In recent years our laboratories have reported the favorable effects for fluorophores placed in close proximity to surface immobilized silver nanostructures. These include; greater quantum yields, reduced lifetimes (increased photostability) and directional emission. However, while these findings are likely to find multifarious applications for surface

Tip-Enhanced Fluorescence Microscopy at 10 Nanometer Resolution [PDF]
We demonstrate unambiguously that the field enhancement near the apex of a laser-illuminated silicon tip decays according to a power law that is moderated by a single parameter characterizing the tip sharpness.

Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence-Based RNA Sensing
In this communication, we present the proof-of-principle of a new RNA sensing technique, based on metal-enhanced fluorescence, which may improve the potential of solid substrate-based RNA capture assays. In this regard, the detection of RNA is accomplished by annealing a target RNA tagged with a fluorophore to a DNA anchor probe in a single step on a ...

Strong plasmonic fluorescence enhancement of individual plant light-harvesting complexes [PDF]
Plasmonic coupling of metallic nanoparticles and adjacent pigments can dramatically increase the brightness of the pigments due to the enhanced local electric field. Here, we demonstrate that the fluorescence brightness of a single plant light-harvesting
