The surface plasmon modes of self-assembled gold nanocrystals

The 3D self-assembly of nanocrystals could generate materials with unique optical and electronic properties. Barrowet al. report the DNA-mediated assembly of symmetrical 3D gold tetrahedra, pentamers and hexamers, and elucidate their plasmon modes.

Direct observation of chemical reactions on single gold nanocrystals using surface plasmon spectroscopy

Current techniques to determine reaction rates on the nanoscale measure ensemble averages, making it difficult to relate the catalytic activity of nanoparticles to their morphology. Researchers have now used surface plasmon spectroscopy to observe the kinetics of a redox reaction catalysed by a gold nanoparticle and also the atomic deposition of gold onto a nanocrystal.

Racial disparities in prostate cancer in the UK and the USA: similarities, differences and steps forwards

Examination of racial disparities in prostate cancer in the USA and UK highlights systemic, socio-economic and sociocultural factors that might contribute to these differences. Understanding behavioural medicine might inform and improve the way in which the health-care system can engage with patients in minorities who are affected by this disease.

Socio-political and ecological fragility of threatened, free-ranging African lion populations

African lions in Maze and Bush-Bush National Parks in Ethiopia and Somalia are the most fragile populations in Africa due to high ecological and socio-political threats, suggests an analysis of free-ranging lion populations in Africa.
