Biosynthesis of luminescent quantum dots in an earthworm (2012)
Journal Article
Stürzenbaum, S. R., Höckner, M., Panneerselvam, A., Levitt, J., Bouillard, J. S., Taniguchi, S., …Green, M. (2013). Biosynthesis of luminescent quantum dots in an earthworm. Nature nanotechnology, 8(1), 57-60. https://doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2012.232

The synthesis of designer solid-state materials by living organisms is an emerging field in bio-nanotechnology. Key examples include the use of engineered viruses as templates for cobalt oxide (Co3O4) particles1, superparamagnetic cobalt–platinum all...

Broadband and broadangle SPP antennas based on plasmonic crystals with linear chirp (2012)
Journal Article
Bouillard, J. S., Vilain, S., Dickson, W., Wurtz, G. A., & Zayats, A. V. (2012). Broadband and broadangle SPP antennas based on plasmonic crystals with linear chirp. Scientific reports, 2(1), Article 829. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep00829

Plasmonic technology relies on the coupling of light to surface electromagnetic modes on smooth or structured metal surfaces. While some applications utilise the resonant nature of surface polaritons, others require broadband characteristics. We demo...
