This week’s image is taken from one of the papers recently published in JPhysD as part of a special issue on plasma synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocrystals.

JPCM topical review round-up part 5: Are nanopores the key to cheaper genome sequencing?
In the penultimate post of the series I look at a review discussing the state of art of nanopores for cheaper and faster DNA sequencing techniques.
JPCM topical review round-up part 1: Semiconducting nanowires and the living cell
In this summary of Christelle N Prinz’s topical review you can find out what happens when a nanowire meets a living cell and the challenges facing researchers trying to improve and expand the use of these nanostructures in biomedical applications.

Farewell to Jerusalem – well almost
Surface Plasmon Photonics has come to an end. Four hundred and fifty physicists are returning home, apart from the ones who, like me, have decided to have a short break to see a little more of Israel. The conference was… Read More ›
All that glitters is not necessarily gold
Silver and gold are the materials of choice for most plasmonic research but if the other materials look like gold then quite likely they have plasmonics properties like gold. Using this rule, other materials are now being explored. Materials discussed… Read More ›
JPhysD mid-year highlights
We’re coming up to almost halfway through 2015; where has the time gone?! In this years’ volume of JPhysD (48) we’ve published over 350 papers, including two special issues; Heusler compounds and Aluminium Plasmonics, and filled more than half of the years’ issues already. So let’s cast our eye over some of my highlights of 2015 so far in each section of JPhysD.
