The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound
energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and …

Plasmonic nanostructures possessing unique and versatile optoelectronic properties have
been vastly investigated over the past decade. However, the full potential of plasmonic …

Lateral-flow assays (LFAs) are rapid and inexpensive, yet they are nearly 1,000-fold less
sensitive than laboratory-based tests. Here we show that plasmonically active antibody …

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted the interest of scientists for over a
