Our paper is published in ACS Photonics!<\/h2>\n

Our paper “UV Circular Dichroism of Molecular Films on Plasmonic Nanostructures: A Comparative Case Study with On-Resonant Aluminum and Off-Resonant Silver Nanoparticles” has been published in ACS Photonics. Here, we studied the enhancement of the CD signal of small molecules due to ultraviolet plasmonic properties of aluminium.<\/p>\n

Our paper is published in Advanced Science!<\/h2>\n

Our paper “Nanoplastics Enhance Transmembrane Transport and Uptake of Carcinogens: Transcriptional Changes and the Effects of Weathering” has been published in Advanced Science. Nanoplastics exposed to different weathering conditions were systematically investigated as vectors for PAHs. It shows significant potential for enhancing PAH uptake and transport in an intestinal membrane model.<\/p>\n

Our perspective is published in Nanotechnology!<\/h2>\n

Our perspective, “Plasmonic catalysis with bi-resonant noble metal\u2014CuFeS2<\/sub> chalcopyrite hybrid structures” is published in Nanotechnology. Here, we reviewed the photophysical and photocatalytic properties of both noble metal and chalcopyrite nanostructures, as well as direct and indirect charge and energy transfer processes in hybrid structures containing noble metal NPs and either semiconductor NCs or molecular photosensitizers or photocatalysts.<\/p>\n
