TL;DR: Surfactant-assisted seeded growth of metal nanoparticles (NPs) can be engineered to produce anisotropic gold nanocrystals with high chiroptical activity through the templating effect of chiral micelles formed in the presence of dissymmetric cosurfactants.

TL;DR: The optical response of unprecedentedly large systems can be accurately calculated by using a combination of surface integral equation (SIE) method of moments (MoM) formulation and an expansion of the electromagnetic fields in a suitable set of spatial wave functions via fast multipole methods.

TL;DR: This work uses state-of-the-art electromagnetic computation techniques to produce predictive simulations for a wide range of nanoparticle-based SERS substrates, including realistic configurations consisting of random arrangements of hundreds of nanoparticles with various morphologies, to derive rules of thumb for the influence of particle anisotropy and substrate coverage on the obtained SERS enhancement and optimum spectral ranges of operation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Bayesian networks to identify the causes of workplace accidents involving auxiliary equipment, such as the adoption of incorrect postures during work and a worker's inadequate knowledge of safety regulations.

TL;DR: An e–cient hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel implementation of an innovative approach that combines the Fast Fourier Transform and Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm has been successfully used to solve an electromagnetic problem involving 620millions of unknowns.
