Probing Surfactant Bilayer Interactions by Tracking Optically Trapped Single Nanoparticles

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Single-particle tracking and optical tweezers are powerful techniques for studying diverse processes at the microscopic scale. The stochastic behavior of a microscopic particle contains information about its interaction with surrounding molecules, and an o ...

Nanoparticle-Induced Disorder at Complex Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: Effects of Curvature and Compositional Synergy on Functional Surfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Youwei Ma

The self-assembly of surfactant monolayers at interfaces plays a sweeping role in tasks ranging from household cleaning to the regulation of the respiratory system. The synergy between different nanoscale species at an interface can yield assemblies with e ...

Harnessing Poisson Effect to Realize Tunable Tunneling Nanogap Electrodes on PDMS Substrates for Strain Sensing

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Henry Shao-Chi Yu

Nanogap electrodes (NGEs) are a fundamental structure for the exploration of nanoscale phenomena. In this paper, we describe the fabrication and the electro-mechanical characterization of tunable tunneling NGEs on a stretchable PDMS substrate. Bottom-up ca ...

Nanoparticles and Microorganisms : from Synthesis to Toxicity

Jan Dobias

Nanoscience is a young and growing field of science. It encompasses a diversity of sub-fields such as nanotechnology and nano-medicine, all of them seeking to realize the promises of nanoscale physics. Nano means: “billionth” and conceptually all nano-like ...

Narrow-band multiresonant plasmon nanostructure for the coherent control of light: An optical analog of the xylophone

Olivier Martin

We demonstrate that it is possible to combine several small metallic particles in a very compact geometry without loss of their individual modal properties by adding a gold metallic film underneath. This film essentially acts as a "ground plane" which chan ...
