Since its discovery, the phenomenon of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has
gradually become an important tool for analyzing the composition and structure of …

Localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanostructures receives noticeable
attention in photonics, electronics, catalysis, and so on. Core–shell nanostructures are …

Accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) can induce cell damage and
even cell death. RONS are short-lived species, which makes direct, precise, and real-time …

Bimetallic gold core–silver shell (Au@ Ag) surface-enhanced Raman scattering tags draw
broad interest in the fields of biological and environmental analyses. Herein, an efficient …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have promising plasmonic properties, however, they are
rarely used in biomedical applications because of their potent toxicity. Herein, an electron …

The structure and atomic ordering of Au–Ag nanoparticles grown in the gas phase are
determined by a combination of HAADF-STEM, XPS and Refl-XAFS techniques as a …

Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a crucial cytokine involved in inflammation and immune
regulation. However, the detection of IL-6 with ultrasensitivity and high specificity remains a …
