Plasmonic nano-particles sense chemicals better than ever

Bath-Uof-nanoparticle-sensor

Specific molecules can be detected with unprecedented sensitivity using plasmonics and nano-particles – “100 times more sensitive than current similar sensors”, according to the University of Bath. At the heart of the sensor is an array of gold discs  – the nano-particles – deposited on a transparent substrate. A laser (~760nm) is used to excite ‘surface lattice resonances’ (SLRs) amongst ...
