TL;DR: A new strategy based on the highly reproducible fabrication of ordered arrays of gold nanostructures coupled to CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals dispersed in a polymer blend is developed, demonstrating the possibility of obtaining precise control and a high spatial selectivity of the fluorescence enhancement process.

TL;DR: A novel composite material based on commercially available polyurethane foams functionalized with colloidal superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and submicrometer polytetrafluoroethylene particles, which can efficiently separate oil from water.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of this approach for multipoint optical stimulation in the mammalian brain in vivo is demonstrated by coupling the fiber to a microelectrode array and performing simultaneous extracellular recording and stimulation at multiple sites in the mouse striatum and cerebral cortex.

TL;DR: A novel seed-mediated synthetic route to produce multibranched gold nanoparticles is reported, in which it is possible to precisely tune both their size and nanostructuration, while maintaining an accurate level of monodispersion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed colloidal CdSe/CdS dots in rods as nonclassical sources for quantum information technology, showing specific properties such as strongly polarized emission of on-demand single photons at room temperature, dipolelike behavior and mono-exponential recombination rates, making them suitability as sources of single photons with well defined quantum states in quantum cryptography based devices.
