TL;DR: In plasmonics, the metal nanostructures can serve as antennas to convert light into localized electric fields (E-fields) or as waveguides to route light to desired locations with nanometer precision through a strong interaction between incident light and free electrons in the nanostructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silver as Antibacterial Agent: Ion, Nanoparticle, and Metal
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the therapeutic window for silver is narrower than often assumed, however, the risks for humans and the environment are probably limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties and emerging applications of self-assembled structures made from inorganic nanoparticles
TL;DR: Different strategies for nanoparticle self-assembly, the properties of self-assembled structures of nanoparticles, and potential applications of such structures are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Templated synthesis of nanostructured materials
TL;DR: The use of both physical and chemical hard colloidal templates, soft templates, and other non-colloidal templates are examined, followed by the perspective on the state of the field and potential future directions.

Interfaces and the driving force of hydrophobic assembly
TL;DR: The hydrophobic effect — the tendency for oil and water to segregate — is important in diverse phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new materials, to the assembly of proteins into functional complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy of building blocks and their assembly into complex structures
TL;DR: This work argues for a conceptual framework for these new building blocks based on anisotropy attributes and discusses the prognosis for future progress in exploiting an isotropy for materials design and assembly.

Spontaneous organization of single CdTe nanoparticles into luminescent nanowires.
TL;DR: These findings demonstrate the collective behavior of nanoparticles as well as a convenient, simple technique for production of one-dimensional semiconductor colloids suitable for subsequent processing into quantum-confined superstructures, materials, and devices.
