Electrochemical biosensors provide powerful tools for dissecting the dynamically changing
neurochemical signals in the living brain, which contribute to the insight into the …

Unimolecular electronics (UME) narrowly defined (sensu stricto), 1 or molecular-scale
electronics, 2 is the study of electrical processes measured or controlled on a molecular …

Understanding the interactions between amines and the surface of gold nanoparticles is
important because of their role in the stabilization of the nanosystems, in the formation of the …

Chemists generally believe that covalent and ionic bonds form much stronger links between
atoms than the van der Waals force does. However, this is not always so. We present cases …

The synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy of sulfur-protected gold surfaces and
nanoparticles is analyzed, indicating that the electronic structure of the interface is Au (0) …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used to engineer the surface properties of
metals. The relatively simple and versatile chemistry of metal–thiolate bonds makes thiolate …

Organic paramagnetic and electroactive molecules are attracting interest as core
components of molecular electronic and spintronic devices. Currently, further progress is …

This paper describes the fabrication of paper-based plasmonic refractometric sensors
through the embedding of metal nanoparticles (NPs) onto flexible papers using reversal …

The development of portable and wearable electronics requiring only few tens of microwatts
to operate fosters the search for low power energy sources. Moreover, the fast-growing …

One of the principal aims of single-molecule electronics is to create practical devices out of
individual molecules. Such devices are expected to play a particularly important role as …
