A research group led by Assoc. Prof. Shota Kuwahara of Toho University and Assoc. Prof. Masato Kuwahara of Nagoya University has developed a new technology that enables the creation of three-dimensional structures of gold nanoparticles confined within silica nanocapsules. The assembled three-dimensional nanostructures are expected to exhibit new physical properties, and their unique optical properties can lead to the development of technologies such as high-sensitivity multi-color sensors. The results from this research were published on October 25, 2023, in Nanoscale Advances, a journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, UK. Further, the work was featured on the cover page of this prestigious journal.
