Langmuir-Blodgett films and black lipid membranes in biospecific surface-selective sensors

TL;DR: The use of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films and black lipid membranes in the development of surface-selective sensor devices is discussed in this paper, where experimental techniques and future prospects associated with the application of LB films and related technologies to biospecific sensor development are also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of nanomaterials in the bioanalytical detection of disease-related genes.

TL;DR: The application of nanomaterials for disease-related genes detection in different methods excluding PCR-related method, such as colorimetry, fluorescence-based methods, electrochemistry, microarray methods, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) methods, and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

High-resolution spectral self-interference fluorescence microscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the unique spectral signature of the fluorescent emission intensity well above a reflecting surface to determine vertical position unambiguously, and demonstrated axial height determination with nm sensitivity by resolving the height difference of fluorescein directly on the surface of streptavidin.

Mechanisms for electronic energy transfer between molecules and metal surfaces: A comparison of silver and nickel

TL;DR: In this article, the decay of electronically excited pyrazine is separated into contributions from radiative decay, resonant surface plasmon excitation, and lossy surface wave damping.

Different Ways of Looking at the Electromagnetic Vacuum

Peter W. Milonni
- 01 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: Some thoughts on the electromagnetic vacuum are presented in connection with the vacuum and source fields as alternative physical bases for understanding spontaneous emission, the Lamb shift, Casimir effects, van der Waals forces, and the "thermalization" of vacuum fluctuations for a uniformly accelerated observer.
