Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been widely utilized to develop various biosensors for molecular diagnosis, as they can be easily functionalized and exhibit unique optical properties explained by plasmonic effects. These unique optical properties of GNPs allow the expression of an intense color under light that can be tuned by altering their size, shape, composition, and coupling with other plasmonic nanoparticles. Additionally, they can also enhance other optical signals, such as fluorescence and Raman scattering, making them suitable for biosensor development. In this review, we provide a detailed discussion of the currently developed biosensors based on the aforementioned unique optical features of GNPs. Mainly, we focus on four different plasmonic biosensing methods, including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), fluorescence enhancement, and quenching caused by plasmon and colorimetry changes based on the coupling of GNPs. We believe that the topics discussed here are useful and able to provide a guideline in the development of novel GNP-based biosensors in the future.

Background: Clinical rating scales and neuropsychological tests are commonly used for assessing sign and disease severity, yet lack detail in the early stages Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Existing evaluation methods can be subjective, nonlinear, expensive, or reliant on anecdotal evidence making objective and consistent characterization and phenotyping of AD difficult. Multimodal analysis of patient behavior, rather than scoring of patient-generated output which can be skewed by compensation strategies, presents a unique opportunity to objectively quantify AD related changes.

Photonic crystals (PC) play a key role in optical field modulation due to their unique photonic band gaps (PBGs). Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) prepared by pulse anodization is a promising candidate for PC devices. In this research, an AAO-based PC with multi-band was fabricated on a single-slice & single-material film, which exhibits multi-band responses in the visible-to-near-infrared (vis-NIR) region.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted significant attention owing to their simple manufacturing process and unique optoelectronic properties. Their reversible electrical or optical property changes in response to oxidizing or reducing environments make them prospective materials for gas detection technologies. Despite advancements in perovskite-based sensor research, the mechanisms behind perovskite-gas interactions, vital for sensor performance, are still inconclusive.

Atomically precise nanoclusters can be assembled into ordered superlattices with unique electronic, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties. The co-crystallization of nanoclusters with functional organic molecules provides opportunities to access an even wider range of structures and properties, but can be challenging to control synthetically. Here we introduce a supramolecular approach to direct the assembly of atomically precise silver nanoclusters into a series of nanocluster‒organic ionic co-crystals with tunable structures and properties.
