TL;DR: In this article, the thermal and electrical transport in an individual silver nanowire is characterized down to 35 K for in-depth understanding of the strong structural defect induced electron scattering.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, at room temperature, the electrical resistivity increases by around 4 folds from that of bulk silver, and proposes that the silver nanowire and bulk silver share the similar phonon-electron scattering mechanism for thermal transport.

TL;DR: The graphene-based quadrupole slot structure can realize a single transparency window, which is achieved without breaking the structure symmetry, and the transparency windows can be dynamically controlled over a broad frequency range by varying the Fermi energy levels of the graphene layer (through electrostatic gating).

TL;DR: Dose-response characterization of the photonic crystal antibody microarrays shows the capability to detect common cancer biomarkers in the <2 pg/mL concentration range within a mixed sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for predicting photonic crystal label-free biosensor performance based primarily on the spatial distribution of electromagnetic near fields at device resonance is presented, and the effect of each property on the resonant mode profile, and consequently on sensor performance, is illustrated.
