Plasmonics Meets Biology through Optics
Plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) represent a relevant class of nanomaterials, which is able to achieve light localization down to nanoscale by exploiting a phenomenon called Localized Plasmon Resonance. In the last few years, NPs have been proposed to trigger DNA release or enhance ablation of diseased tissues, while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In view of the therapeutic relevan...
متن کاملTransformation optics for plasmonics.
A new strategy to control the flow of surface plasmon polaritons at metallic surfaces is presented. It is based on the application of the concept of transformation optics to devise the optical parameters of the dielectric medium placed on top of the metal surface. We describe the general methodology for the design of transformation optical devices for surface plasmons and analyze, for proof-of-...
متن کاملPlasmonics meets far-field optical nanoscopy.
Plasmonics and near-field optical nanoscopy both deal with expanding optics into the subwavelength regime. However, these two fields have so far followed parallel paths of development and only recently have researchers started to explore combinations of their concepts with potential synergy. In this Perspective, we provide an up-to-date summary of the successful combinations reported and give i...
متن کاملSystems biology meets platelet biology.
tion was associated with an observable survival benefit and delay in progression to AIDS among HIV-1–infected IDUs. 3 While HTLV-I has been definitively proven to cause adult T-cell leukemia/lym-phoma and a progressive neurodegenerative illness known as tropical spastic parapare-sis/HTLV-I–associated myelopathy (TSP/ HAM), a causal role for HTLV-II with either leukemia or TSP/HAM is much less w...
متن کاملMolecular plasmonics: light meets molecules at the nanoscale.
Certain metal nanoparticles exhibit the effect of localized surface plasmon resonance when interacting with light, based on collective oscillations of their conduction electrons. The interaction of this effect with molecules is of great interest for a variety of research disciplines, both in optics and in the life sciences. This paper attempts to describe and structure this emerging field of mo...
