Tiny rulers to measure nanoscale structures

With the advent of nanometer-sized machines, there is considerable demand for stable, precise tools to measure absolute distances and distance changes. One way to do this is with a plasmon ruler. In physics jargon, a "plasmon" is the quasiparticle resulting from the quantization of plasma oscillation; it's essentially the collective oscillations of the free electron gas at a metallic surface, often at optical frequencies. read more

Tiny rulers measure nanoscale structures

Physicists at China's Wuhan University discovered that nanospheres combined with a nanorod dimer (identical attached molecules that form a fixed, measurable length) could be used to solve the ...
