The ability to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the chemistry that takes place at
liquid/solid interfaces is key to the development and improvement of many chemical and …

This review presents the recent advances in the achievement of organized proteo-lipidic
nanostructures based on Langmuir–Blodgett technology and their potential applications in …

Single-molecule fluorescence studies of functional biomolecule dynamics rely on the ability
to provide biologically relevant experimental conditions. Long measurement times on single …

We show that a concentration of light at a metal tip allows near-field optical imaging of single
fluorescent dye molecules at very high resolution, despite strong quenching effects. Details …

The explosive growth of single-molecule techniques is transforming our understanding of
biology, hel** to develop new physics inspired by emergent biological processes, and …

Single dye molecules are used as local probes to map the spatial distribution of the squared
electric field components in the focus of a high numerical aperture lens. Simulated field …
