TL;DR: Reconfigurable three-dimensional plasmonic metamolecules are created, which execute DNA-regulated conformational changes at the nanoscale and can work as optical reporters, which transduce their conformational change in situ into circular dichroism changes in the visible wavelength range.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effects of injection of plasmonic carriers from an optically excited metal nanocrystal to a semiconductor contact or to surface molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave function of a plasmon in nanostructures of different sizes is analyzed using quantum linear response theory, with a focus on the photogeneration of energetic carriers.

TL;DR: Binary CdSe NPL solids are examined and it is shown that interplate FRET can occur 15-50 times faster than Auger recombination and multiexcitonic FRET is demonstrated, making such materials ideal candidates for advanced technologies.

TL;DR: It is shown that copper telluride NCs with well-defined morphologies (spheres, rods, tetrapods) can be prepared via cation exchange of preformed CdTe NCs while retaining their original shape, suggesting that holes in the valence band of Cu(2-x)Te cannot be described as fully free particles and that the effects of localization of holes are important.
