The synthesis of plasmonic nanorattles with accessible electromagnetic hotspots that facilitate highly sensitive detection of chemical analytes using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is demonstrated. Raman spectra obtained from individual nanorattles demonstrate the significantly higher SERS activity compared to solid plasmonic nanostructures.

Article Synopsis
- - This study introduces a biosensor that uses spikey nanorattles to enhance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), aiming to detect mRNA cancer biomarkers like Keratin 14 (KRT14) for early diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
- - The biosensor employs a sandwich hybridization method with magnetic beads and SERS spikey nanorattles, achieving an impressive detection limit of 90 femtomolar.
- - A pilot study confirms the biosensor's effectiveness in differentiating between positive and negative HNSCC diagnoses, showcasing its potential for rapid, sensitive cancer detection in resource-limited environments.

Noble metal nanoparticles, particularly gold and silver nanoparticles, have garnered significant attention due to their ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale through their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). While their LSPRs below 1100 nm were extensively exploited in a wide range of applications, their potential in the near-infrared (NIR) region, crucial for optical communication and sensing, remains relatively underexplored. One primary reason is likely the limited strategies available to obtain highly stable plasmonic nanoparticles with tailored optical properties in the NIR region.

Theranostic systems, which integrate therapy and diagnosis into a single platform, have gained significant attention as a promising approach for noninvasive cancer treatment. The field of image-guided therapy has revolutionized real-time tumor detection, and within this domain, plasmonic nanostructures have garnered significant attention. These structures possess unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), allowing for enhanced absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) range.

Plexcitonic nanoparticles exhibit strong light-matter interactions, mediated by localized surface plasmon resonances, and thereby promise potential applications in fields such as photonics, solar cells, and sensing, among others. Herein, these light-matter interactions are investigated by UV-visible and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopies, supported by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations. Our results reveal the importance of combining plasmonic nanomaterials and J-aggregates with near-zero-refractive index.

In this study, a highly sensitive and efficient surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate was developed using Au dogbone nanorattles (Au-DBNRTs) deposited on a 3D wrinkled polymeric heat shrink film. The plasmonic structures of Au-DBNRTs, which possess a solid gold dogbone-shaped core and a thin, porous gold shell, and Au nanorod nanorattles (Au-NRNRTs), which have a rod-shaped core, were synthesized and their SERS performance was evaluated. Au-DBNRTs exhibited better Raman signal enhancement.
