Dynamic Actuation of DNA-Assembled Plasmonic Nanostructures in Microfluidic Cell-Sized Compartments
Kerstin Goepfrich, Maximilian J. Urban, Christoph Frey +3
Molecular motor proteins form the basis of cellular dynamics. Recently, notable efforts have led to the creation of their DNA-based mimics, which can carry out complex nanoscale mo…
Chiral Plasmonic Nanostructures Enabled by Bottom-Up Approaches
Maximilian J. Urban, Chenqi Shen, Xiang-Tian Kong +5
We present a comprehensive review of recent developments in the field of chiral plasmonics. Significant advances have been made recently in understanding the working principles of…
DNA-assembled nanoarchitectures with multiple components in regulated and coordinated motion
Pengfei Zhan, Maximilian J. Urban, Steffen Both +4
Coordinating functional parts to operate in concert is essential for machinery. In gear trains, meshed gears are compactly interlocked, working together to impose rotation or trans…
Watching a Single Fluorophore Molecule Walk into a Plasmonic Hotspot
Ling Xin, Mo Lu, Steffen Both +7
Plasmonic nanoantennas allow for enhancing the spontaneous emission, altering the emission polarization, and shaping the radiation pattern of quantum emitters. A critical challenge…
Dynamic Plasmonic System That Responds to Thermal and Aptamer-Target Regulations
Chao Zhou, Ling Xin, Xiaoyang Duan +2
The DNA origami technique has empowered a new paradigm in plasmonics for manipulating light and matter at the nanoscale. This interdisciplinary field has witnessed vigorous growth,…
Gold nanocrystal-mediated sliding of doublet DNA origami filaments
Maximilian J. Urban, Steffen Both, Chao Zhou +4
Sliding is one of the fundamental mechanical movements in machinery. In macroscopic systems, double-rack pinion machines employ gears to slide two linear tracks along opposite dire…
