In this study, a method for ultrasensitive sensing of Fe based on Fenton reaction mediated etching of triangular gold nanoplates (Au NPLs) was developed. In this assay, the etching of Au NPLs by HO was accelerated in the presence of Fe due to the generation of superoxide free radical (O) via Fenton reaction. With the concentration of Fe increased, the shape of Au NPLs changed from triangular to sphere with the blue shifted localized surface plasmon resonance, accompanying a series of consecutive color changes from blue, bluish purple, purple, reddish purple and finally to pink. The rich color variations enable rapid visual quantitative determination of Fe within 10 min. A good linear relationship between the peak shifts and the concentration of Fe was obtained in the range of 0.035 to 1.5 μM (R = 0.996). Favorable sensitivity and selectivity in the presence of other tested metal ions were achieved in the proposed colorimetric assay. The detection limits (3ơ/k) for Fe was 26 nM by UV-vis spectroscopy, and the clearly discernible concentration of Fe was as low as 0.07 μM by naked eyes. The recoveries of fortified samples in pond water and serum samples ranged from 96% to 106% with interday relative standard deviations <3.6% in all cases, demonstrating the applicability of the assay for measuring Fe in real samples.

This study reports the synthesis of plasmonic hot nanogap networks-in-triangular nanoframes (NITNFs), featuring narrow intraparticle nanogap networks embedded within triangular nanoframes. Starting from Au nanotriangles, Pt NITNFs are synthesized through a cascade reaction involving simultaneous Pt deposition and Au etching in a one-pot process. The Pt NITNFs are then transformed into plasmonically active Au NITNFs via Au coating.

Aim: Insertion of dental implants causes bone deformation and induces residual bone compression stress, which can lead to implant failure if the bone loss threshold is exceeded. The current literature about bone stress is restricted to computer simulations and implant primary stability measurements after installation. This work measures the torque and deformation during implant insertion testing.

A colorimetric sensor array is proposed for ultrasensitive detection and identification of bacteria by using Cl at various concentrations as sensing elements and triangular silver nanoparticles (T-AgNPs) as a single sensing nanoprobe. T-AgNPs are easily etched by Cl. However, in the presence of bacteria, the etching process will be hindered.

Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have long attracted interest for their intriguing optical and electronic properties. Recently, TMDs in their quasi-bulk form have started to show considerable promise for nanophotonics thanks to their high refractive indices, large optical anisotropy, wide transparency windows reaching to the visible, and robust room temperature excitons promising for nonlinear optics. Adherence of TMD layers to any substrate via van der Waals forces is a further key enabler for the nanofabrication of complex photonic structures requiring heterointegration.

This study reveals a local strain-dependent etching behavior that enables the formation of distinguished etching patterns in differently strained chemical vapor deposited (CVD) 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS) monolayers. It is demonstrated that when the local tensile strain of CVD 2D MoS is as uniformly low as ɛ ≈ 0.33% or less, the oxidative etching pattern possesses conventional triangular etching pits (TEPs), while when the local tensile strain is as uniformly high as ɛ ≈ 0.
