Real-Time Density Functional Tight Binding: A New Computational Tool for Probing Electronic Properties of Plasmonic Systems

Ilawe N.V., Wong B.M., University of California Riverside, US

Light-harvesting systems and plasmonic materials continue to garner significant attention due to their importance in both energy conversion and sensitive detection technologies. However, several challenges exist in improving their performance: these electronic multifunctional systems are [...]

Effective Multistep Exciton Delivery Through DNA-based Photonic Wires

Spillmann C.M., Buckhout-White S., Ancona M.G., Cunningham P.D., Melinger J.S., Goldman E.R., Medintz I.L., Naval Research Laboratory, US

Energy manipulation at the nanoscale is a key requirement to develop next-generation nanotechnologies ranging from biosensing to light harvesting, yet the design rules of these nanoscale systems must first be optimized to accomplish their intended [...]

New Insulation Technology for the 21st Century

Morgan S., Smith R., Cormier R., Proactive Technology, US

Back in 1945, Everett Shuman promoted R-value as a standardized way to measure a material’s resistance to heat transfer. But R-values can only be achieved in laboratory conditions where there is no wind, no moisture [...]

Chip-Based Energy Transfer System between Quantum dots and Gold Nanoparticles for Analysis of Protein Glycosylation

Kim H-S, Kim Y.P., Park S., Oh E., Oh Y.H., Oh E., Oh Y.H., Kim H-S, Kim Y.P., KAIST, KR

Protein glycosylation is one of the most essential processes in the living systems, and often is a major target for developing therapeutics and diagnosis. We have developed a chip-based energy transfer system between quantum dot [...]
