Funded Activity Summary

Molecular Plasmonics - From Single Electrons to Quantum Catalysis and Optical Logic Gates. After a decade of basic research, Nanotechnology is now entering its most disruptive phase. New nanoscale phenomena are being exploited and converted into viable technologies. Plasmonics - the manipulation of light using metal nanostructures - is one of the most promising of these. Plasmonics will enable scientists to achieve optical computing, reach higher data storage densities, and synthesize better catalysts. Other applications include bio-sensing and rapid pathogen detection. To realise these potential outcomes, a leading international cluster focussing on plasmonics will be set up and this cluster will link state-of-the-art materials science, instrumentation and theory.
