The newly formed UK and Ireland chapter of IEEE Nanotechnology Council is pleased to announce its kick-off meeting with presentations from several subject experts.

IEEE Nanotechnology Chapter Distinguished Lecture | Nanoplasmonics - Reaching Out to the Single Molecule by Prof Reuven Gordon Abstract Arthur Ashkin was co recipient of the Nobel prize in 2018 for his work on optical tweezers however, those conventional optical tweezers are limited to objects that are 100 nm in size. This talk [...]

This talk introduces an approach that traps single unmodified proteins from a solution in a plasmonic hotspot and makes it possible to assign changes in the local refractive index to changes in protein conformation while monitoring these changes for minutes to hours with a temporal resolution at least as fast as 40 microseconds.
