A novel soft-printing method enables the precise deposition of gold nano-islands (AuNIs) onto flexible synthetic and bio-polymer films. Cosmetic applications - illuminating masks, under-eye brighteners, blemish covers, and smart patches that visually signal treatment time or expos... Read more

Numerous spectroscopic techniques rely on signal enhancement from nanoparticles linked to analyte molecules. However, existing surface-enhanced spectroscopies (SES) typically use nanoparticles dispersed in solution, making them unsuitable for solid substrates. Signal amplification... Read more
