TL;DR: In this paper, the main lines in the development of the whole field of oscillatory surface reactions are presented, and the phenomenology and mechanisms which give rise to oscillations are presented before the more complicated aspects of spatiotemporal self-organization and chaotic dynamics are discussed.
Abstract: Practically by definition, heterogeneous catalytic reactions represent systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and therefore one can observe in such systems rate oscillations, spatiotemporal patterns and chaos--a group of phenomena which has been denoted ``dissipative structures`` by Prigogine. Although oscillatory kinetics in a heterogeneous chemical reaction system had been discovered quite early, it was only about 25 years ago that such phenomena were also found in heterogeneous catalysis by the group of Wicke, who observed rate oscillations in catalytic CO oxidation. Since then, oscillatory surface reactions have developed into a field of very active research. The purpose of the present paper is not to give a full account of all the experimental and theoretical work on oscillatory surface reactions, but to demonstrate the main lines in the development of the whole field. The paper is organized such that first the phenomenology and the mechanisms which give rise to oscillations are presented before the more complicated aspects of spatiotemporal self-organization and chaotic dynamics are discussed. 360 refs.

TL;DR: Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and technology and involve components from the molecular to the planetary scale and many different kinds of interactions.
Abstract: Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures without human intervention. Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and technology. They involve components from the molecular (crystals) to the planetary (weather systems) scale and many different kinds of interactions. The concept of self-assembly is used increasingly in many disciplines, with a different flavor and emphasis in each.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor and describes how its exquisite sensitivity to size, shape and environment can be harnessed to detect molecular binding events and changes in molecular conformation.
Abstract: Recent developments have greatly improved the sensitivity of optical sensors based on metal nanoparticle arrays and single nanoparticles. We introduce the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor and describe how its exquisite sensitivity to size, shape and environment can be harnessed to detect molecular binding events and changes in molecular conformation. We then describe recent progress in three areas representing the most significant challenges: pushing sensitivity towards the single-molecule detection limit, combining LSPR with complementary molecular identification techniques such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and practical development of sensors and instrumentation for routine use and high-throughput detection. This review highlights several exceptionally promising research directions and discusses how diverse applications of plasmonic nanoparticles can be integrated in the near future.
