Metallic nanowires can be sculpted out of semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers using focused electron-beam irradiation and have self-adaptive contacts to the semiconducting monolayers they are made from.
Gas vesicles, a class of protein nanostructure found naturally in microorganisms, are employed as ultrasound contrast agents for molecular imaging on the nanoscale.
The third-harmonic-generation efficiency of an individual indium tin oxide nanoparticle is enhanced by more than 106 fold by placing it within the gap of a plasmonic gold dimer nanoantenna.
Using a three-dimensional multi-resolution method the early events leading to the cellular uptake of peptide-modified nanoparticles are visualized in real time.
