Now imagine that this enormous mirror is made not of precisely manufactured glass segments, but of liquid floating in space. This might sound like science fiction, but it's the cutting-edge concept ...

We present a comprehensive analysis of influence of probe geometry on responses based on localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon. Accordingly, plasmonic responses corresponding to diverse ...

Studies on deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a new class of “green” solvents, are attracting increasing attention from researchers, as evidenced by the rapidly growing number of publications in the ...
