Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are widely used in biophysical research to probe the functionality of biological membranes and to provide diagnoses in high throughput drug screening. Formation of SLBs at below phase transition temperature (Tm) has applications in nano-medicine research where low temperature profiles are required. Herein, we report the successful production of SLBs at above-as w...

The application of whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities for Nano detection and biosensing is a field of research seeing ongoing attention [1-15]. This method exploits the high quality-factor (Q) of the optical cavity for ultra-sensitive monitoring of shifts in the resonant wavelength. These resonant wavelength shifts are due to modifications in the optical properties of the resonator tha...

Narrowband light absorber with multi-band plasmonic resonances is numerically investigated for high-performance electrical manipulation via introducing the electro-optic (EO) medium in slit array based grating structure. A maximal absorption efficiency of 99.5% achieved. The spectral shift sensitivity reaches 0.99 nm/V. Besides, large intensity change also obtained due to use sharp resonances, ...

Plasmonic nanostructures have attracted much attention in recent years because of their potential applications in optical manipulation through near-field enhancement. Continuing experimental efforts have been made to develop accurate techniques to directly measure the near-field optical force induced by the plasmonic nanostructures in the visible frequency range. In this work, we report a new a...

For near-field imaging optics, minimum resolvable feature size is highly constrained by the near-field diffraction limit associated with the illumination light wavelength and the air distance between the imaging devices and objects. In this study, a plasmonic cavity lens composed of Ag-photoresist-Ag form incorporating high spatial frequency spectrum off-axis illumination (OAI) is proposed to r...

Background: Deep caries, cavity preparation and use of burs or other dental instruments often result in pulpal perforation. In the case an exposed pulp, regenerative pulp tissue treatment aims to regenerate normal maintain vitality by inducing regeneration using right material, so that a good percentage size material porosity is needed help cell supporting proliferation attachment, stimulating ...

The infrared detectors own the ability to convert information carried by photons radiated objects into electrical signals, which broadens horizons of human beings observing natural environment and activities. At present, long very long-wavelength detections have many applications in atmospheric monitoring, biological spectroscopy, night vision, etc. As demand for high-performance grows rapidly,...
