The use of imaging technologies has been critical in deciphering biological phenomena,
structures, and mechanisms across a wide range of spatial scales. The spatial resolution of …

In this review, the weightiest decadal developments of surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) and nanoplasmonic materials in sensing applications are discussed. Today, there …

In this perspective we discuss the roles of hot spots in surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS). After giving background and defining the hot spot, we evaluate a …

Steam production is essential for a wide range of applications, and currently there is still
strong debate if steam could be generated on top of heated nanoparticles in a solar receiver …

Understanding the detailed relationship between nanoparticle structure and activity remains
a significant challenge for the field of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. To this end …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is highly dependent upon the substrate,
where excitation of the localized metal surface plasmon resonance enhances the vibrational …

Determining the existence of any direct spectral relationship between the far-field scattering
properties and the near-field Raman-enhancing properties of surface-enhanced Raman …

We discuss how the poor metals Al, Ga, In, Sn, Tl, Pb, and Bi can be used for plasmonics in
the near to far ultraviolet (UV) range, similar to the noble metals Ag and Au in the visible …

The increasing energy demands of the world's population and the quickly diminishing fossil
fuel reserves together suggest the urgent need to secure long-lasting alternative and …

We report that plasmonic nanoantennas made by DNA origami can be used as reliable and
efficient probes for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The nanoantenna is …
