A method based on the sidewall transfer technique for fabricating two-dimensional (2D) nano-mold on a silicon substrate was developed. Instead of using expensive nanolithography, the authors fabricated 2D silicon nano-mold using standard ultraviolet lithography, conformal deposition of gold by radio frequency sputtering, argon sputter etching and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). This technique...

A commercial TEM grid was used as a mask for the creation of extremely well-organized gold micro-/nano-structures on a glass substrate via a high temperature annealing process at 500 °C. The structured substrate was (bio)functionalized and used for the high throughput LSPR immunosensing of different concentrations of a model protein named bovine serum albumin.

The novel nano-seaurchin structure is characteristic of high-density and well-dispersed gold nanorods in one mesoporous silica nanobead. This nanoplatform provided increased photothermal stability, stable photoacoustic signal and highly efficient hyperthermia effect both in vitro and in vivo, indicating a powerful theranostic modality.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently occurring tumor in human population. CRCs are usually adenocarcinomatous and originate as a polyp on inner wall of colon or rectum which may become malignant due course time. Although therapeutic options CRC limited, early diagnosis play an important role preventive interventions to decrease mortality rate. The CRC-affected tissues exhibit se...

The resonance behavior of localized surface plasmons in silver and gold nanoparticles was studied in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Arrays of nano-sized gold (Au) and silver (Ag) particles with different properties were produced with electron-beam lithography technique over glass substrates. The effect of the particle size, shape variations, period, thick...

According to the unique properties and many applications of nano silver powder, it was prepared from acid leaching tail solution. The low value residual gold and silver ions were occurred with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (Fe2+, Cu 2+ and Zn2+) in acid leaching tail solution in Mouteh gold mine in Iran. Preparation of nano silver particles was achieved in two steps: first, by addition of a...

Precise spatial and temporal control of pressure stimulation at the nanometer scale is essential for the fabrication and manipulation of nano-objects, and for exploring single-molecule behaviour of matter under extreme conditions. However, state-of-the-art nano-mechanical transducers require sophisticated driving hardware and are currently limited to moderate pressure regimes. Here we report a ...
