TL;DR: In 2019, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9 and the Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due to a low SINR but were used for subsequent parameter estimation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Gold nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes were dispersed into water-glycerol mixtures of varying volume ratios to investigate the response of their surface plasmon peaks to the refractive index of the surrounding medium.

TL;DR: A new plasmonic catalyst of Au supported on BiOCl containing oxygen vacancies photocatalyzes selective benzyl alcohol oxidation with O2 under visible light through synergistic action of plAsmonic hot electrons and holes.

TL;DR: This work describes an array of submicrometer gold mushrooms with a FOM reaching ~108, which is comparable to the theoretically predicted upper limit for standard PSPR sensors, and demonstrates the array as a biosensor for detecting cytochrome c and alpha-fetoprotein, suggesting that the array is a promising candidate for label-free biomedical sensing.

TL;DR: This work reports here on the direct harvesting of visible-to-near-infrared light for chemical reactions by use of plasmonic Au-Pd nanostructures, and compares the effect of joint plasMonic photocatalysis and photothermal conversion with that of sole Photothermal conversion.
