Optical imaging represents one of the most essential tools in biological studies. Although
with great advances, bio-optical imaging still suffers from problems such as resolution …

Plastic particle pollution has been shown to be almost completely ubiquitous within our
surrounding environment. This ubiquity in combination with a variety of unique properties …

The growing amount of data that is generated every year creates an urgent need for new
and improved data storage methods. Nanomaterials, which have unique mechanical …

The optical properties of metal nanoparticles, particularly their localized surface plasmon
effects, are well established. These plasmonic nanoparticles can respond to their …

This review describes the growing partnership between super-resolution imaging and
plasmonics, by describing the various ways in which the two topics mutually benefit one …

Recent advances in optical microscopy instrumentation and processing techniques have led
to imaging that both breaks the diffraction barrier and enables sub-pixel resolution. This …

Metallic nanoparticles supporting a localized surface plasmon resonance have emerged as
promising platforms for nanoscopic labels, sensors, and (photo-) catalysts. To use …

Abstract The Ho 3+-activated NaYbF 4 upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) were
synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern …

Fundamental to all living organisms and living soft matter are emergent processes in which
the reorganization of individual constituents at the nanoscale drives group-level movements …

Far-field optical imaging techniques allow the determination of the position of point-like
emitters and scatterers,–. Although the optical wavelength sets a fundamental limit to the …
