Researchers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have developed a technique that substantially improves the ...

Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons at the conductor-dielectric interface, driven by an external electromagnetic field. These waves, known as surface plasmon waves (SPWs), ...

This rendering depicts a new type of "nanotweezer," an example of advanced optical technologies that could emerge in the field of plasmonics. Whereas development of new plasmonic technologies has been ...

Plasmonic structures exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics, which are benefited by the localized and intensified light–matter interaction. There have been many recent advancements with ...

A well-polished mirror reflects the world faithfully back to the viewer’s eyes. But break that mirror into billions of nanosized chunks and each tiny silver sliver would not reflect the world with ...

Researchers are probing the physical limits of excited electronic states called plasmons by studying them in organic molecules with fewer than 50 atoms. Rice University researchers are probing the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —The emerging field of plasmonics could bring advances in chemical manufacturing, usher in new clean and sustainable technologies and desalination systems to avert a future global ...

HOUSTON, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Syzygy Plasmonics announced today that it and Lotte Chemical have commissioned and completed performance testing of the world's largest all-electric ammonia ...

Every day, the world finds another way to show us that, once we work on a level that’s small enough, nothing makes sense. Things we take for granted no longer happen. For instance, say you’re lying in ...

Small oscillations of surface electrons that manipulate light on the nanoscale could be the route to applications as disparate as faster computer chips and cures for cancer. Joerg Heber reports. Toss ...
