Nitric oxide (NO) activates the intrinsic apoptotic pathway to induce cell death. However, the mechanism by which this pathway is activated in cells exposed to NO is not known. Here we report that...

A Comparative Plasmonic Study of Nanoporous and Evaporated Gold Films

Ahl, Stefanie, Cameron, Petra J., Liu, Jing, Knoll, Wolfgang, Erlebacher, Jonah, Yu, Fang

Previously, we have reported that nanoporous gold (NPG) films prepared by a chemical dealloying method have distinctive plasmonic properties, i.e., they can simultaneously support localized and...
