(Nanowerk News) Scientists from ITMO University launches free online course "Plasmonics: From Fundamentals to Modern Applications" on edX. The course starts on November 1st, 2018. Listeners will learn ...

Bringing plasmonics out of the lab is important. University support and communication between researchers and industry play a vital role. Since the first prediction of their existence in 1957 by Rufus ...

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), ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plasma is one of the fundamental states of matter that is generated when a neutral gas is heated or subjected to a strong electromagnetic field, both of which can result in the breaking of bonds and ...

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 ...
