Arrays of plasmonic pentamers consisting of five metallic nano-disks were designed and fabricated to achieve a pronounced Fano Resonance with polarization-independent far-field spectral response at normal incidence due to the structure symmetry of pentamers. A mass-spring coupled oscillator model was applied to study plasmon interactions among the nano-disks. It was found that the direction of the excitation light polarization can flexibly tune the spatial localization of near-field energy at sub-wavelength scales while the collective optical properties are kept constant. It can lead to a selective storage of excited energy down to sub-20 nm gap at a normal incident with a single light source.

The tunability of spectral lineshapes, ranging from Lorentzian to Fano profiles, is essential for advancing nanoscale photonic technologies. Conventional far-field techniques are insufficient for studying nanoscale phenomena, particularly within the terahertz (THz) range. In this work, we use a U-shaped resonant ring on a waveguide substrate to achieve precise modulation of Lorentzian, Fano, and antiresonance profiles.

Herein, we investigated the distinctive scattering properties exhibited by single gold nanorods coated with palladium (AuNRs@Pd), with variations in the Pd shell thicknesses and morphologies. AuNRs@Pd were synthesized through bottom-up epitaxial Pd growth using two different concentrations of Pd precursor. These single AuNRs@Pd displayed the characteristic of subradiant and superradiant localized surface plasmon resonance peaks, characterized by a noticeable gap marked by a Fano dip.

Human activity has led to increased concentrations of mercury (Hg) in the world's oceans. Mercury can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in animal tissues via trophic transfer, thus, becoming most pronounced in larger and older predators. Here, we measured Hg concentrations and their relationship with stable isotopes-based proxies of trophic level (δC and δN values) in multiple tissues of Mustelus spp.

Understanding how environmental factors affect species distribution is crucial for the conservation and management of marine organisms, especially in the face of global changes. Whiting (Merlangius merlangus) is a demersal cold-temperate fish, considered a 'relict species' in the Adriatic Sea. Despite its significance to commercial fisheries in the region, the specific drivers behind its spatial and temporal patterns have not been thoroughly examined.

- Researchers combined a special type of surface with a technology called THz time-domain spectroscopy to improve how we detect tiny amounts of substances.
- They created a new sensor using silver nanoparticles, which helps boost the sensor’s sensitivity by making it easier for THz waves to interact with the samples.
- Their experiments showed that using 30 microliters of silver nanoparticles made the sensor super effective, allowing it to detect a pesticide in very low concentrations.
