Optically Controlled Aggregation of Gold Nanorods for Ultrasensitive in-Liquid Sensing: From Biomolecules to Nano-Plastics
Summary
Researchers used radiation pressure to control in-situ aggregation of gold nanorods, enabling ultrasensitive SERS-based detection of biomolecules and nanoplastics in liquid environments at trace concentrations.
We use radiation pressure to control the in-situ aggregation of gold nanorods for the in-liquid SERS detection of biomolecules at trace level. A similar approach has been also applied to ultrasensitive detection of small nanoplastics. Full-text article not available; see video presentation
