Conundrums of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors

Small, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing faces fundamental conundrums arising from finite field decay lengths, environmental cross‐sensitivities, and batch variability. Competing surface, bulk, and electrostatic effects can induce red or blue spectral shifts, complicating quantification, reproducibility, and interpretation in complex or ...

Combined Foaming and Surface Structuring of Polymers With Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (scCO2) Applying an Incomplete Saturation Strategy

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 15, April 15, 2026.
Combined foaming and structuring of polymer samples by processing with supercritical CO2 leads to nano‐ and microstructured surfaces on top of perfectly white polymer sheets. ABSTRACT Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is a widely applied solvent utilized in many physical–chemical processes, including the foaming or structuring of polymers.

Crack‐Growing Interlayer Design for Deep Crack Propagation and Ultrahigh Sensitivity Strain Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 22, 16 March 2026.
A crack‐growing semi‐cured polyimide interlayer enabling deep cracks for ultrahigh sensitivity in low‐strain regimes is presented. The sensor achieves a gauge factor of 100 000 at 2% strain and detects subtle deformations such as nasal breathing, highlighting potential for minimally obstructive biomedical and micromechanical sensing applications ...

Engineering Chiroptical Interactions through Integrating Plasmonic Arrays with Cholesteric Nanocellulose

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate how the combination of plant‐based cellulose and gold nanoparticle lines produces robust, tunable chiral light control in composite films. The resulting plasmonic cellulose composite exhibits a strong plasmonic CD at the surface lattice resonance, along with an inversion of chiroptical response upon reversing the ...

Nanoimprint lithography 20 years on

Nanotechnology, 2015
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) we present a perspective of how the technique and its prospects have evolved over the past two decades. We describe how it overcame certain fabrication challenges at the time it was first reported and look at some of the obstacles that hindered uptake in industry initially, as well as ...

High‐Brightness, Wide‐Gamut, and High‐Resolution Structural Colors via Ultrafast Laser Oxidation of Ti/TiO2 Films

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
Ultrafast laser writing on titanium (Ti)–titanium dioxide (TiO2)–Ti sandwich films triggers controllable oxidation (〉200 nm) to create vivid, durable structural colors. The colors reach 〉 80% of the standard RGB (sRGB) gamut, up to 60% peak reflectance, and 30,000 dots per inch (DPI) resolution for art and anti‐counterfeiting.

Periodic and Statistically Distributed Surface Texturing of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Sensors with Spatially Selective Signal Mapping

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
Molecular fingerprinting for the detection of biomolecules is highly sensitive and noninvasive through the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. This is a report on the commercially competitive performance of gold‐coated periodic structures and black Si (aperiodic) nanostructures as plasmonic SERS substrates.
