  • Nanoantennas have been developed to direct light, but most still rely on laboratory scale light sources. Here, the authors demonstrate electrically-driven directional emission in the optical frequency range using a nanogap in conjunction with a Yagi-Uda antenna nanostructure.

  • A 3.5 μm robotic device featuring plasmonic nanomotors and tweezer can deliver, capture, and release a single 70 nm nanodiamond. In this study, the authors develop and demonstrate such a microrobotic device.

  • Quantum states are incredibly sensitive to their environment, making them perfect for ultrasensitive quantum detection—if they can be maintained long enough. Here, the authors showed that they can ‘immortalize’ the excited state of a coupled light-matter system using a technique called ‘coherent perfect absorption’.

  • Polycrystalline substrates are a hindrance to the realization of high-definition plasmonic nanostructures. In this paper the authors chemically grow large and thin gold single crystals, and show that they can be coupled with top-down fabrication methods to produce high-quality nanostructures with good optical properties.

  • This work on colorectal cancer shows that secondary mutations in KRAS that confer resistance to panitumumab, an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, are already present when antibody treatment begins; the apparent inevitability of resistance suggests that combinations of drugs targeting at least two different oncogenic pathway will be needed for treatment.

  • A microscopic robotic device is remotely controlled in two dimensions in all three degrees of freedom independently by the interaction between unfocused light and four plasmonic nanoantennas.

  • Plasmonics allows precise engineering of light–matter interactions and is the driver behind many optical devices. The local observation of a plasmonic quantum wave packet is a step towards bringing these functionalities to the quantum regime.
