Chemistry in plasmonic nanocavities
While trying to experimentally uncover what is the physical mechanism that governs plasmon-mediated chemistry, its energy-dependent nature was revealed.

The identification of handedness for single carbon nanotubes becomes possible by scientists from Peking University in China
In the past three decades, various optical spectroscopic techniques have been demonstrated to identify the chiral indices (n, m) of carbon nanotubes unequivocally even at the single-tube level. However, the accurate characterization of the handedness via optical spectroscopy has been unrealizable for single nanotubes. Here, we developed the Rayleigh scattering circular dichroism to fulfil the dream of complete structure identification of both chiral indices and handedness for single nanotubes.
Environmental dimensions of the protein corona
Our understanding of how biomolecules redirect the fate and impact of nanomaterials in the environment is rapidly advancing. We present the emerging work, along with our perspective on next steps in eco-corona studies.
