[PMID: 39059066 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are capable of infecting a considerable proportion of the world's population each year, leading to severe epidemics with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The methods now used to diagnose influenza virus A include the Western blot test (WB), hemagglutination inhibition (HI), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). But because of their labor-intensiveness, lengthy procedures, need for costly equipment, and inexperienced staff, these approaches are considered inappropriate. The present review elucidates the recent advancements in the field of avian influenza detection through the utilization of nanomaterials-based immunosensors between 2014 and 2024. The classification of detection techniques has been taken into account to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature. The review encompasses a detailed illustration of the commonly employed detection mechanisms in immunosensors, namely, colorimetry, fluorescence assay, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), electrochemical detection, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) piezoelectric, and field-effect transistor (FET). Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects for the immunosensors have been deliberated upon. The present review aims to enhance the understanding of immunosensors-based sensing platforms for virus detection and to stimulate the development of novel immunosensors by providing novel ideas and inspirations. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide an updated information about biosensors, as a recent detection technique of influenza with its details regarding the various types of biosensors, which can be used for this review.

Functionalized gold nanoparticle enhanced nanorod hyperbolic metamaterial biosensor for highly sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 257:116295. [PMID: 38653013 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) biosensors based on metals have superior performance in comparison with conventional plasmonic biosensors in the detection of low concentrations of molecules. In this study, a nanorod HMM (NHMM) biosensor based on refractive index changes for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection is developed using secondary antibody modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP-Ab2) nanocomposites as signal amplification element for the first time. Numerical analysis based on finite element method is conducted to simulate the perturbation of the electric field of bulk plasmon polariton (BPP) supported by a NHMM in the presence of a AuNP. The simulation reveals an enhancement of the localized electric field, which arises from the resonant coupling of BPP to the localized surface plasmon resonance supported by AuNPs and is beneficial for the detection of changes of the refractive index. Furthermore, the AuNP-Ab2 nanocomposites-based NHMM (AuNP/Ab2-NHMM) biosensor enables CEA detection in the visible and near-infrared regions simultaneously. The highly sensitive detection of CEA with a wide linear range of 1-500 ng/mL is achieved in the near-infrared region. The detectable concentration of the AuNP/Ab2-NHMM biosensor has a 50-fold decrease in comparison with a NHMM biosensor. A low detection limit of 0.25 ng/mL (1.25 pM) is estimated when considering a noise level of 0.05 nm as the minimum detectable wavelength shift. The proposed method achieves high sensitivity and good reproducibility for CEA detection, which makes it a novel and viable approach for biomedical research and early clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructure biosensors based on metal are a powerful tool in the biosensing field. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be classified into localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and propagating surface plasmon polariton (PSPP), based on the transmission mode. Initially, the physical principles of LSPR and PSPP are elaborated. In what follows, the recent development of the biosensors related to SPR principle is summarized. For clarity, they are categorized into three groups according to the sensing principle: (i) inherent resonance-based biosensors, which are sensitive to the refractive index changes of the surroundings; (ii) plasmon nanoruler biosensors in which the distances of the nanostructure can be changed by biomolecules at the nanoscale; and (iii) surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensors in which the nanostructure serves as an amplifier for Raman scattering signals. Moreover, the advanced application of single-molecule detection is discussed in terms of metal nanoparticle and nanopore structures. The review concludes by providing perspectives on the future development of plasmonic nanostructure biosensors.

Abstract
At the nanoscale, metals exhibit special electrochemical and optical properties, which play an important role in nanobiosensing. In particular, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on precious metal nanoparticles, as a kind of tag-free biosensor technology, has brought high sensitivity, high reliability, and convenient operation to sensor detection. By applying an electrochemical excitation signal to the nanoplasma device, modulating its surface electron density, and realizing electrochemical coupling SPR, it can effectively complete the joint transmission of electrical and optical signals, increase the resonance shift of the spectrum, and further improve the sensitivity of the designed biosensor. In addition, smartphones are playing an increasingly important role in portable mobile sensor detection systems. These systems typically connect sensing devices to smartphones to perceive different types of information, from optical signals to electrochemical signals, providing ideas for the portability and low-cost design of these sensing systems. Among them, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), as a special electrochemically coupled optical technology, has good application prospects in mobile sensing detection due to its strong anti-interference ability, which is not affected by background light. In this review, the SPR is introduced using nanoparticles, and its response process is analyzed theoretically. Then, the mechanism and sensing application of electrochemistry coupled with SPR and ECL are emphatically introduced. Finally, it extends to the relevant research on electrochemically coupled optical sensing on mobile detection platforms.

Abstract
Hollow Ag-Pd nanoparticles have potentially high catalytic performance owing to their larger surface area compared to their corresponding solid nanoparticles. We successfully fabricated hollow Ag-Pd alloy nanodendrites and nanoboxes by using different Pd precursors (H2PdCl4 and Pd(acac)2) to achieve large surface area nanoboxes. Interestingly, the use of a H2PdCl4 precursor led to the formation of hollow nanodendrite structures, whereas the slower reduction of Pd(acac)2 led to the formation of hollow nanoboxes. The microstructure and chemical composition of Ag-Pd nanoparticles and properties of their growth solutions were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.

Abstract
Superposing two or more periodic structures to form moiré patterns is emerging as a promising platform to confine and manipulate light. However, moiré-facilitated interactions and phenomena have been constrained to the vicinity of moiré lattices. Here we report on the observation of ultralong-range coupling between photonic lattices in bilayer and multilayer moiré architectures mediated by dark surface lattice resonances in the vertical direction. We show that two-dimensional plasmonic nanoparticle lattices enable twist-angle-controlled directional lasing emission, even when the lattices are spatially separated by distances exceeding three orders of magnitude of lattice periodicity. Our discovery of far-field interlattice coupling opens the possibility of using the out-of-plane dimension for optical manipulation on the nanoscale and microscale.

Abstract
The interpretation of color change in sensors and tests can be linked to incorrect conclusions if the intrinsic color changes are not accounted for. In this work, we study the intrinsic color change associated with the process of embedding nanoparticles in a polymer to create nanocomposite films. We present a safer, faster method to coat silver nanoparticles with silica and employ a seven-factor Plackett-Burman design to identify critical factors in the synthesis. Silver nanodisks with increasing thicknesses of the silica shell showed a decreasing sensitivity of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) toward changes in the refractive index surrounding the nanoparticle. A color shift of up to 72 nm was observed when bare nanoparticles were embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol), but no color change was perceived when nanoparticles were coated with a 25-nm-thick silica shell. Understanding the origin of color changes intrinsic to the preparation of polymeric nanocomposites aids in the design and correct use of plasmonic sensors.

Abstract
Directly identifying the presence of the virus in infected hosts with an appropriate speed and sensitivity permits early epidemic management even during the presymptomatic incubation period of infection. Here, we synthesize a bioinspired plasmo-virus (BPV) particle for rapid and sensitive point-of-care (POC) detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) via a self-assembled plasmonic nanoprobe array on spike proteins. The BPV enables strong near-infrared (NIR) extinction peaks caused by plasmonic nanogaps. We quantify SARS-CoV-2 in viral transport medium (VTM) at low titers within 10 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 × 101 pfu/mL, which is 103 times more sensitive than the current gold-standard method. The high-sensitivity and high-speed POC detection may be widely used for the timely, individualized diagnosis of infectious agents in low-resource settings.

Abstract
With the growing need for portable, compact, low-cost, and efficient biosensors, plasmonic materials hold the promise to meet this need owing to their label-free sensitivity and deep light-matter interaction that can go beyond the diffraction limit of light. In this review, we shed light on the main physical aspects of plasmonic interactions, highlight mainstream and future plasmonic materials including their merits and shortcomings, describe the backbone substrates for building plasmonic biosensors, and conclude with a brief discussion of the factors affecting plasmonic biosensing mechanisms. To do so, we first observe that 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides play a major role in enhancing the sensitivity of nanoparticle-based plasmonic biosensors. Then, we identify that titanium nitride is a promising candidate for integrated applications with performance comparable to that of gold. Our study highlights the emerging role of polymer substrates in the design of future wearable and point-of-care devices. Finally, we summarize some technical and economic challenges that should be addressed for the mass adoption of plasmonic biosensors. We believe this review will be a guide in advancing the implementation of plasmonics-based integrated biosensors.

Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses to Explore the Nonlinear Optical Properties of Au NP Colloids That Were Synthesized by Laser Ablation. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:2980. [PMID: 36080017 PMCID: PMC9458061 DOI: 10.3390/nano12172980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we experimentally investigated the nonlinear optical properties of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) that were prepared in pure distilled water using the laser ablation method. The Au NPs were prepared using a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser with an ablation time of 5 or 10 min at a constant laser energy of 100 mJ. The structure and the linear optical properties of the Au NPs were investigated using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometer analysis, respectively. The TEM measurements showed that the average size of the Au NPs varied from 20.3 to 14.1 nm, depending on the laser ablation time. The z-scan technique was used to investigate the nonlinear refractive index (n2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (γ) of the Au NPs, which were irradiated at different excitation wavelengths that ranged from 740 to 820 nm and at different average powers that ranged from 0.8 to 1.6 W. The Au NP samples exhibited a reverse saturable absorption (RSA) behavior that increased when the excitation wavelength and/or incident laser power increased. In addition, the Au NPs acted as a self-defocusing material whenever the excitation wavelength or incident power were modified.

Abstract
Nanoparticles exhibit diverse self-assembly attributes and are expected to be applicable under unique settings. For instance, biomolecules can be sandwiched between dimer nanoparticles and detected by surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Controlling the gap between extremely close dimers and stably capturing the target molecule in the gap are crucial aspects of this strategy. Therefore, polymer-tethered nanoparticles (PTNPs), which show promise as high-performance materials that exhibit the attractive features of both NPs and polymers, were targeted in this study to achieve stable biomolecule sensing. Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, the dependence of the PTNP interactions on the length of the grafted polymer, graft density, and coverage ratio of a hydrophobic tether were examined. The results indicated that the smaller the tether length and graft density, the smaller was the distance between the PTNP surfaces (Rsurf). In contrast, Rsurf decreased as the coverage ratio of the hydrophobic surface (ϕ) increased. The sandwiching probability of the sensing target increased in proportion to the coverage ratio. At high ϕ values, the PTNPs aggregated into three or more particles, which hindered their sensing attributes. These results provide fundamental insight into the sensing applications of NPs and demonstrate the usefulness of PTNPs in sensing biomolecules.

Abstract
Monitoring the human immune response by assaying (detection and quantification) the antibody level against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is important in conducting epidemiological surveillance and immunization studies at a population level. Herein, we present the design and fabrication of a solid-state nanoplasmonic biosensing platform that is capable of quantifying SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody IgG with a limit of detection as low as 30.0 attomolar (aM) and a wide dynamic range spanning seven orders of magnitude. Based on IgG binding constant determination for different biological motifs, we show that the covalent attachment of highly specific SARS-CoV-2 linear epitopes with an appropriate ratio, in contrast to using SARS-CoV-2 spike protein subunits as receptor molecules, to gold triangular nanoprisms (Au TNPs) results in a construction of a highly selective and more sensitive, label-free IgG biosensor. The biosensing platform displays specificity against other human antibodies and no cross reactivity against MERS-CoV antibodies. Furthermore, the nanoplasmonic biosensing platform can be assembled in a multi-well plate format to translate to a high-throughput assay that allowed us to conduct SARS-CoV-2 IgG assays of COVID-19 positive patient (n = 121) and healthy individual (n = 65) plasma samples. Most importantly, performing a blind test in an additional cohort of 30 patient plasma samples, our nanoplasmonic biosensing platform successfully identified COVID-19 positive samples with 90% specificity and 100% sensitivity. Very recent studies show that our selected epitopes are conserved in the highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant "Omicron"; therefore, the demonstrated high-throughput nanoplasmonic biosensing platform holds great promise for a highly specific serological assay for conducting large-scale COVID-19 testing and epidemiological studies and monitoring the immune response and durability of immunity as part of the global immunization programs.

Abstract
The interest in the development of nanoscale plasmonic technologies has dramatically increased in recent years. The photonic properties of plasmonic nanopatterns can be controlled and tuned via their size, shape, or the arrangement of their constituents. In this work, we propose a 2D hybrid metallic polymeric nanostructure based on the octupolar framework with enhanced sensing property. We analyze its plasmonic features both numerically and experimentally, demonstrating the higher values of their relevant figures of merit: we estimated a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancement factor of 9 × 107 and a SPR bulk sensitivity of 430 nm/RIU. In addition, our nanostructure exhibits a dual resonance in the visible and near-infrared region, enabling our system toward multispectral plasmonic analysis. Finally, we illustrate our design engineering strategy as enabled by electron beam lithography by the outstanding performance of a SERS-based biosensor that targets the Shiga toxin 2a, a clinically relevant bacterial toxin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a SERS fingerprint of this toxin has been evidenced.

Abstract
Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in agriculture and its intensive use over the last 30 years has caused a global concern due to its potentially toxic effects on the ecosystem. Considering the recent scientific interest in novel simple methods for imidacloprid analysis, we propose a label-free sensitive and specific localised surface plasmon resonance system for the detection of the insecticide based on 2D nanostructured metasurfaces with highly performing plasmonic properties. The specificity of the sensor proposed was achieved by covalent bio-functionalization of the metasurface using a smart and easy one-step procedure mediated by carbon disulphide. The biosensor produced was tested using a set of imidacloprid standard solutions showing a competitive limit of detection, lower than 1 ng mL-1. Our novel nanosensing configuration represents a valid and reliable solution to realize low-cost portable POC tests as an alternative to the laborious and expensive methods traditionally used for insecticide detection.

Abstract
We investigate theoretically the accuracy of an effective medium approximation in modeling localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for the detection of biopolymer nucleation. Using boundary-element method simulations, we compute the extinction spectrum and spectral shift of a gold nanoparticle-biopolymer system in which biopolymers are treated as cylindrical rods and compare them with results from an extended Mie theory in which biopolymers are treated as an effective medium with a radially variable refractive index. Our results show that the effective medium approximation can be employed to predict the extinction spectrum and the spectral shift accurately. We also demonstrate that the approximation is effective even when there is only a single biopolymer on the nanoparticle, as long as its orientation relative to the incident wave is random, which is generally the case in solution-based localized surface plasmon resonance biosensing applications where the orientations of biomolecules relative to the incident light are not fixed, but change over time.

Abstract
The performance improvement of solid-state triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon upconversion (TTA-UC) systems is required for the application to various solar devices. The performance can be improved by making use of the local strong electric field generated through the excitation of localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance of metal nanostructures. However, since the improvement is effective only within the limited nanospace around nanoparticles (i.e., the near-field effect), a methodology for improving the performance over a wider spatial region is desirable. In this study, a significant improvement in the threshold light excitation intensity (Ith) (77% decrease) as the figure of merit and the upconverted emission intensity (6.3 times enhancement) in a solid-state TTA-UC film with a thickness of 3 μm was achieved by stacking the film with periodic Ag half-shell arrays. The highest-enhanced upconverted emission was obtained by tuning the diffuse reflectance peak, which results from the excitation of LSP resonance of the Ag half-shell arrays, to overlap well with the photoexcitation peak of the sensitizer in the TTA-UC film. The intensity of the enhanced upconverted emission was independent of the distance between the lower edge of the TTA-UC film and the surface of half-shell arrays in the nanometer order. These results suggest that the performance improvement was attributed to the photoexcitation enhancement of the sensitizer by elongating the excitation light path length inside the TTA-UC film, which was achieved through a strong backward scattering of the incident light based on the LSP resonance excitation (i.e., the far-field effect). In addition, the upconverted emission was improved using half-shell arrays comprising low-cost Al, although the enhancement factor was 3.5, which was lower than that of Ag half-shell arrays. The lower enhancement may be attributed to a decrease in the backward scattering of the excitation light owing to the intrinsic strong interband transition of Al at long visible wavelengths.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of nucleic acid biomarkers for health diagnostic applications becomes feasible for point of care scenarios when the detection instrument is inexpensive, simple, and robust. Here, we report the design, implementation, and characterization of a point of care instrument for photonic resonator absorption microscopy (PRAM) that takes advantage of resonant optical coupling between plasmonic gold nanoparticle tags and a photonic crystal (PC) surface. Matching the PC resonant wavelength to the gold nanoparticle's surface plasmon wavelength generates localized and efficient quenching of the PC resonant reflection intensity, resulting in the ability to clearly detect and count individual gold nanoparticles when they are captured on the PC surface. Surface-captured nanoparticles are observed by illuminating the PC at normal incidence with polarized light from a low-intensity red LED, and recording of PC reflected intensity on an inexpensive CMOS image sensor. A contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) image processing algorithm was applied to derive counts of captured nanoparticles. The instrument is utilized in the context of an activate capture + digital counting (AC + DC) assay for a specific miRNA sequence, using nucleic acid toehold probes applied to gold nano-urchin (AuNU) nanoparticles to achieve 160 aM detection limits in a 30 min. assay.

Abstract
Here, the research field of nanoplasmonic sensors is placed under scrutiny, with focus on affinity-based detection using refractive index changes. This review describes how nanostructured plasmonic sensors can deliver unique advantages compared to the established surface plasmon resonance technique, where a planar metal surface is used. At the same time, it shows that these features are actually only useful in quite specific situations. Recent trends in the field are also discussed and some devices that claim extraordinary performance are questioned. It is argued that the most important challenges are related to limited receptor affinity and nonspecific binding rather than instrumental performance. Although some nanoplasmonic sensors may be useful in certain situations, it seems likely that conventional surface plasmon resonance will continue to dominate biomolecular interaction analysis. For detection of analytes in complex samples, plasmonics may be an important tool, but probably not in the form of direct refractometric detection.

Semiconductor (SC)-based field-effect transistors (FETs) have been demonstrated as amazing enhancer gadgets due to their delicate interface towards surface adsorption. This leads to their application as sensors and biosensors. Additionally, the semiconductor material has enormous recognizable fixation extends, high affectability, high consistency for solid detecting, and the ability to coordinate with other microfluidic gatherings. This review focused on current progress on the semiconductor-interfaced FET biosensor through the fundamental interface structure of sensor design, including inorganic semiconductor/aqueous interface, photoelectrochemical interface, nano-optical interface, and metal-assisted interface. The works that also point to a further advancement for the trademark properties mentioned have been reviewed here. The emergence of research on the organic semiconductor interface, integrated biosensors with Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible, metal-organic frameworks, has accelerated the practical application of biosensors. Through a solid request for research along with sensor application, it will have the option to move forward the innovative sensor with the extraordinary semiconductor interface structure.

Abstract
Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) allows for the determination of the bonding strength and coverage of molecular mono- or multilayers on a surface and is widely used in surface science. In its traditional form using a mass spectrometric readout, this information is derived indirectly by analysis of resulting desorption peaks. This is problematic because the mass spectrometer signal not only originates from the sample surface but also potentially from other surfaces in the measurement chamber. As a complementary alternative, we introduce plasmonic TPD, which directly measures the surface coverage of molecular species adsorbed on metal nanoparticles at ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Using the examples of methanol and benzene on Au nanoparticle surfaces, the method can resolve all relevant features in the submonolayer and multilayer regimes. Furthermore, it enables the study of two types of nanoparticles simultaneously, which is challenging in a traditional TPD experiment, as we demonstrate specifically for Au and Ag.

Abstract
When aliovalent dopants are sufficiently segregated to the core or near the surface of semiconductor nanocrystals, charge carriers donated by the dopants are also segregated to the core or near the surface, respectively. In Sn-doped indium oxide nanocrystals, we find that this contrast in free charge carrier concentration creates a core and shell with differing dielectric properties and results in two distinctly observable plasmonic extinction peaks. The trends in this dual-mode optical response with shell growth differ from core/shell nanoparticles composed of traditional plasmonic metals such as Au and Ag. We developed a model employing a core/shell effective medium approximation that can fit the dual-mode spectra and explain the trends in the extinction response. Lastly, we show that dopant segregation can improve sensitivity of plasmon spectra to changes in refractive index of the surrounding environment.

Abstract
The study of inorganic nanozymes to overcome the disadvantages of bio-enzymes, such as the requirement of optimized reaction conditions and lack of durability against environmental factors, is one of the most significant research topics at present. In this work, we comprehensively analyzed the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of Ir-based nanoparticles, the biological and nanozymatic potentials of which have not yet been explored. These particles were synthesized by the galvanic replacement of Ag nanoplates with Ir. Through the confirmed peroxidase-like activity and hydrogen peroxide decomposition with free radical generation facilitated by these particles, the antibacterial and anticancer effects were successfully verified in vitro. The nanozyme-based therapeutic effect observed at concentrations at which these nanoparticles do not show cytotoxicity suggests that it is possible to achieve more precise and selective local treatment with these particles. The observed highly efficient peroxidase-like activity of these nanoparticles is attributed to the partially mixed composition of Ir-Ag-IrO2 formed through the galvanic replacement reaction in the synthetic process.

Abstract
Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their contents have been revealed to play crucial roles in the intrinsic intercellular communications and have received extensive attention as next-generation biomarkers for diagnosis of diseases such as cancers. However, due to the structural nature of the EVs, the precise isolation and characterization are extremely challenging. To this end, tremendous efforts have been made to develop bionano sensors for the precise and sensitive characterization of EVs from a complex biologic fluid. In this review, we will provide a detailed discussion of recently developed bionano sensors in which EVs analysis applications were achieved, typically in optical and electrochemical methods. We believe that the topics discussed in this review will be useful to provide a concise guideline in the development of bionano sensors for EVs monitoring in the future. The development of a novel strategy to monitor various bio/chemical materials from EVs will provide promising information to understand cellular activities in a more precise manner and accelerates research on both cancer and cell-based therapy.

Abstract
One of the frontiers in the field of biosensors is the ability to quantify specific target molecules with enough precision to count individual units in a test sample, and to observe the characteristics of individual biomolecular interactions. Technologies that enable observation of molecules with "digital precision" have applications for in vitro diagnostics with ultra-sensitive limits of detection, characterization of biomolecular binding kinetics with a greater degree of precision, and gaining deeper insights into biological processes through quantification of molecules in complex specimens that would otherwise be unobservable. In this review, we seek to capture the current state-of-the-art in the field of digital resolution biosensing. We describe the capabilities of commercially available technology platforms, as well as capabilities that have been described in published literature. We highlight approaches that utilize enzymatic amplification, nanoparticle tags, chemical tags, as well as label-free biosensing methods.

Abstract
For the early diagnosis of several diseases, various biomarkers have been discovered and utilized through the measurement of concentrations in body fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva. The most representative analytical method for biomarker detection is an immunosensor, which exploits the specific antigen-antibody immunoreaction. Among diverse analytical methods, surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based immunosensors are emerging as a potential detection platform due to high sensitivity, selectivity, and intuitive features. Particularly, SPR-based immunosensors could detect biomarkers without labeling of a specific detection probe, as typical immunosensors such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) use enzymes like horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In this review, SPR-based immunosensors utilizing noble metals such as Au and Ag as SPR-inducing factors for the measurement of different types of protein biomarkers, including viruses, microbes, and extracellular vesicles (EV), are briefly introduced.

Abstract
We visualize plasmon mode patterns induced in a single gold nanorod by three-dimensional scanning near-field optical microscopy. From the near-field transmission imaging, we find that 3rd and 4th order plasmon modes are resonantly excited in the nanorod. We perform electromagnetic simulations based on the discrete dipole approximation method under focused Gaussian beam illumination and demonstrate that the observed near-field spectral and spatial features are well reproduced by the simulation. We also reveal from the three-dimensional near-field microscopy that the 4th order plasmon mode confines optical fields more tightly compared with the 3rd order mode. This result indicates that the even-order plasmon modes are promising for enhancing the light-matter interactions.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) gas sensors are gaining increasing importance due to their unique tuneable functional properties. Au-WO3−x nanocomposite coatings, in particular, can be outstandingly sensitive to many different gases. However, a proper understanding of their optical properties and the way in which those properties are correlated to their structure/microstructure, is still needed. In this work, Au-WO3 nanocomposite coatings, with Au contents between 0–11 atomic percent, were grown using reactive magnetron co-sputtering technique and were characterized concerning their optical response. The precipitation of Au nanoparticles in the oxide matrix was promoted through thermal annealing treatments until 500 °C. Along with the Au nanoparticles’ morphological changes, the annealing treatments stimulated the crystallization of WO3, together with the appearance of oxygen-deficient WO3−x phases. Through theoretical simulations, we have related the LSPR effect with the different structural and morphological variations (namely, size and distribution of the nanoparticles and their local environment), which were a function of the Au content and annealing temperature. Our results suggest that local voids were present in the vicinity of the Au nanoparticles, for all temperature range, and that they should be present in a wide variety of Au-WO3 nanocomposites. A theoretical study concerning the refractive index sensitivity was carried out in order to predict the optimal coating design parameters for gas sensing experiments.

Abstract
The phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) provides high sensitivity in detecting biomolecules through shifts in resonance frequency when a target is present. Computational studies in this field have used the full Maxwell equations with simplified models of a sensor-analyte system, or they neglected the analyte altogether. In the long-wavelength limit, one can simplify the theory via an electrostatics approximation while adding geometrical detail in the sensor and analytes (at moderate computational cost). This work uses the latter approach, expanding the open-source PyGBe code to compute the extinction cross section of metallic nanoparticles in the presence of any target for sensing. The target molecule is represented by a surface mesh, based on its crystal structure. PyGBe is research software for continuum electrostatics, written in python with computationally expensive parts accelerated on GPU hardware, via PyCUDA. It is also accelerated algorithmically via a treecode that offers O(NlogN) computational complexity. These features allow PyGBe to handle problems with half a million boundary elements or more. In this work, we demonstrate the suitability of PyGBe, extended to compute LSPR response in the electrostatic limit, for biosensing applications. Using a model problem consisting of an isolated silver nanosphere in an electric field, our results show grid convergence as 1/N, and accurate computation of the extinction cross section as a function of wavelength (compared with an analytical solution). For a model of a sensor-analyte system, consisting of a spherical silver nanoparticle and a set of bovine serum albumin (BSA) proteins, our results again obtain grid convergence as 1/N (with respect to the Richardson extrapolated value). Computing the LSPR response as a function of wavelength in the presence of BSA proteins captures a redshift of 0.5 nm in the resonance frequency due to the presence of the analytes at 1-nm distance. The final result is a sensitivity study of the biosensor model, obtaining the shift in resonance frequency for various distances between the proteins and the nanoparticle. All results in this paper are fully reproducible, and we have deposited in archival data repositories all the materials needed to run the computations again and recreate the figures. PyGBe is open source under a permissive license and openly developed. Documentation is available at http://pygbe.github.io/pygbe/docs/.

Abstract
In this paper, a periodic metallic–dielectric nanorod array which consists of Si nanorods coated with 30 nm Ag thin film set in a hexagonal configuration is fabricated and characterized. The fabrication procedure is performed by using nanosphere lithography with reactive ion etching, followed by Ag thin-film deposition. The mechanism of the surface and gap plasmon modes supported by the fabricated structure is numerically demonstrated by the three-dimensional finite element method. The measured and simulated absorptance spectra are observed to have a same trend and a qualitative fit. Our fabricated plasmonic sensor shows an average sensitivity of 340.0 nm/RIU when applied to a refractive index sensor ranging from 1.0 to 1.6. The proposed substrates provide a practical plasmonic nanorod-based sensing platform, and the fabrication methods used are technically effective and low-cost.

Abstract
Hybrid SERS configurations, which combine manufactured metallic chips with nanoparticles, have emerged as powerful and promising SERS substrates because they not only provide cost-effective and high-yield manufacture, but also demonstrate excellent sensitivity and outstanding reproducibility. Herein, a plasmonic hybrid structure, a particle on an Au film over nanoparticles (particle-AuFON) configuration, was studied for SERS application. In a previous study, we constructed a hybrid substrate by grafting Au@Ag core–shell NPs onto the AuFON structure. In this study, the hybrid substrate is designed and simulated to optimize electromagnetic enhancement while also affording exceptional uniformity, repeatability and stability, which are essential factors in SERS applications. This hybrid substrate provides good SERS performance with a detection limit of 1 × 10−10 M, which is 100-fold improvement compared to AuFON substrate or Au@Ag NPs. The excellent signal enhancement originates from the hotspot improvement and densification, as visualized by the FDTD calculations. Additional hotspots were created at the gaps between the Au@Ag NPs and the AuFON, thus improving the density of hotspots. Moreover, the intensity of the hotspots was improved due to EM coupling between the original hotspots and additional hotspots. To validate the feasibility of this hybrid substrate in SERS-based detection, melamine was detected as an example. The detection limit was 10 nM, which was much lower than the maximum limit of melamine in infant formula (1 ppm) legislated by the governments of both the United States and China. A calibration curve was plotted between the SERS intensity and melamine concentration with a correlation coefficient of 0.98. This hybrid SERS substrate shows great potential in SERS-based sensing and imaging, as it provides high sensitivity and outstanding reproducibility with a simple fabrication procedure, facilitating the cost-effective and high-yield manufacture of SERS substrates. A plasmonic hybrid structure of particles on a Au film over nanoparticles (particle-AuFON) configuration was studied for application in SERS. It showed great potential in SERS-based sensing and it provides outstanding uniformity, repeatability and stability.![]()

Abstract
We analyze theoretically the effectiveness of homogeneous layer approximations in modeling localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors made of spherical metal nanoparticles coated with biomolecular layers that have radially variable refractive indices. Using an extended Mie theory, we compute the extinction spectrum and peak wavelength of the system and compare them with when effective medium approximations are applied to treat the biomolecular layer as homogeneous. We investigate how the accuracies of the approximations depend on the geometric parameters of the system and the material of the metal nanoparticle. We also derive expressions that can be used to predict if the approximations would accurately predict the spectral position of the peak wavelength.

Abstract
We present a detailed appraisal of the optical and plasmonic properties of ordered alloys of the form AuxAgyCu1-x-y, as predicted by means of first-principles many-body perturbation theory augmented by a semi-empirical Drude-Lorentz model. In benchmark simulations on elemental Au, Ag, and Cu, we find that the random-phase approximation (RPA) fails to accurately describe inter-band transitions when it is built upon semi-local approximate Kohn-Sham density-functional theory band-structures. We show that non-local electronic exchange-correlation interactions sufficient to correct this, particularly for the fully-filled, relatively narrow d-bands which contribute strongly throughout the low-energy spectral range (0-6 eV), may be modeled very expediently using band-stretching operators that imitate the effect of a perturbative [Formula: see text] self-energy correction incorporating quasiparticle (QP) mass renormalization. We thereby establish a convenient work-flow for carrying out approximated [Formula: see text] spectroscopic calculations on alloys and, in particular here, we have considered alloy concentrations down to 12.5% in [Formula: see text], including all possible crystallographic orderings of face-centred cubic type. We develop a pragmatic procedure for calculating the Drude plasmon frequency from first principles, including self-energy effects, as well as a semi-empirical scheme for interpolating the plasmon inverse lifetimes between stoichiometries. A distinctive M-shaped profile is observed in both quantities for binary alloys, in qualitative agreement with previous experimental findings. A range of optical and plasmonic figures of merit are discussed, and plotted for ordered [Formula: see text] at three representative solid-state laser wavelengths. On this basis, we predict that certain compositions may offer improved performance over elemental Au for particular application types. We predict that while the loss functions for both bulk and surface plasmons are typically diminished in strength through binary alloying, certain stoichiometric ratios may exhibit higher-quality (longer-lived) localized surface-plasmons and surface-plasmon polaritons, at technologically-relevant wavelengths, than those in elemental Au.

Abstract
The term "nanoparticle stability" is widely used to describe the preservation of a particular nanostructure property ranging from aggregation, composition, crystallinity, shape, size, and surface chemistry. As a result, this catch-all term has various meanings, which depend on the specific nanoparticle property of interest and/or application. In this feature article, we provide an answer to the question, "What does nanoparticle stability mean?". Broadly speaking, the definition of nanoparticle stability depends on the targeted size dependent property that is exploited and can only exist for a finite period of time given all nanostructures are inherently thermodynamically and energetically unfavorable relative to bulk states. To answer this question specifically, however, the relationship between nanoparticle stability and the physical/chemical properties of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles are discussed. Specific definitions are explored in terms of aggregation state, core composition, shape, size, and surface chemistry. Next, mechanisms of promoting nanoparticle stability are defined and related to these same nanoparticle properties. Metrics involving both kinetics and thermodynamics are considered. Methods that provide quantitative metrics for measuring and modeling nanoparticle stability in terms of core composition, shape, size, and surface chemistry are outlined. The stability of solution-phase nanoparticles are also impacted by aggregation state. Thus, collision and DLVO theories are discussed. Finally, challenges and opportunities in understanding what nanoparticle stability means are addressed to facilitate further studies with this important class of materials.

Abstract
In this work, a versatile method is proposed to increase the sensitivity of optical sensors based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. It combines a physical deposition method with the oblique angle deposition technique, allowing the preparation of plasmonic thin films with tailored porosity. Thin films of Au-TiO2 were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering in a 3D nanostructure (zigzag growth), at different incidence angles (0° ≤ α ≤ 80°), followed by in-air thermal annealing at 400 °C to induce the growth of the Au nanoparticles. The roughness and surface porosity suffered a gradual increment by increasing the incidence angle. The resulting porous zigzag nanostructures that were obtained also decreased the principal refractive indexes (RIs) of the matrix and favoured the diffusion of Au through grain boundaries, originating broader nanoparticle size distributions. The transmittance minimum of the LSPR band appeared at around 600 nm, leading to a red-shift to about 626 nm for the highest incidence angle α = 80°, due to the presence of larger (scattering) nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that zigzag nanostructures can enhance adsorption sites for LSPR sensing by tailoring the porosity of the thin films. Atmosphere controlled transmittance-LSPR measurements showed that the RI sensitivity of the films is improved for higher incidence angles.

Abstract
All cells release a multitude of nanoscale extracellular vesicles (nEVs) into circulation, offering immense potential for new diagnostic strategies. Yet, clinical translation for nEVs remains a challenge due to their vast heterogeneity, our insufficient ability to isolate subpopulations, and the low frequency of disease-associated nEVs in biofluids. The growing field of nanoplasmonics is poised to address many of these challenges. Innovative materials engineering approaches based on exploiting nanoplasmonic phenomena, i.e., the unique interaction of light with nanoscale metallic materials, can achieve unrivaled sensitivity, offering real-time analysis and new modes of medical and biological imaging. We begin with an introduction into the basic structure and function of nEVs before critically reviewing recent studies utilizing nanoplasmonic platforms to detect and characterize nEVs. For the major techniques considered, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized SPR, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), we introduce and summarize the background theory before reviewing the studies applied to nEVs. Along the way, we consider notable aspects, limitations, and considerations needed to apply plasmonic technologies to nEV detection and analysis.

Abstract
We introduce a new approach to plasmonic biosensing with superior biosensing properties based on spectroscopy of an electromagnetic mode guided by a monolayer of sparsely distributed colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles. The theoretical prediction of optical and sensing performance is confirmed by an experimental study in which adsorption of biomolecules on the sensor surface is studied. An unprecedentedly high figure of merit related to surface refractive index changes (FOMS) is demonstrated for distances of the biomolecules from the sensor surface up to 30 nm, which makes this approach a promising candidate for localized biosensing.

Abstract
Beyond the synthesis of typical nanocrystals, various breakthrough approaches have been developed to provide more useful structural features and functionalities. Among them, galvanic replacement, a structural transformation reaction accompanied by constituent element substitution, has been applied to various areas. However, the innovative improvement for galvanic replacement needs to be considered because of the limitation of applicable element pairs to maintain structural stability. To expand the boundary of galvanic-replacement-mediated synthesis, we have become interested in the Group 9 metallic element Ir, which is considered a fascinating element in the field of catalysis, but whose size and shape regulation has been conventionally regarded as difficult. To overcome the current limitations, we developed a hydrothermal galvanic-replacement-tethered synthetic route to prepare Ir-Ag-IrO2 nanoplates (IrNPs) with a transverse length of tens of nanometers and a rough surface morphology. A very interesting photoreactivity was observed from the prepared IrNPs, with Ag and IrO2 coexisting partially, which showed photothermal conversion and photocatalytic activity at different ratios against extinction wavelengths of 473, 660, and 808 nm. The present IrNP platform showed excellent photothermal conversion efficiency under near-infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm and also represented an effective cancer treatment in vitro and in vivo through a synergistic effect with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In addition, computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast effects from Ir and IrO2 composition were also clearly observed.

Abstract
Microtubules are dynamic protein filaments that are involved in a number of cellular processes. Here, we report the development of a novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing approach for investigating one aspect of microtubule dynamics that is not well understood, namely, nucleation. Using a modified Mie theory with radially variable refractive index, we construct a theoretical model to describe the optical response of gold nanoparticles when microtubules form around them. The model predicts that the extinction maximum wavelength is sensitive to a change in the local refractive index induced by microtubule nucleation within a few tens of nanometers from the nanoparticle surface, but insensitive to a change in the refractive index outside this region caused by microtubule elongation. As a proof of concept to demonstrate that LSPR can be used for detecting microtubule nucleation experimentally, we induce spontaneous microtubule formation around gold nanoparticles by immobilizing tubulin subunits on the nanoparticles. We find that, consistent with the theoretical model, there is a redshift in the extinction maximum wavelength upon the formation of short microtubules around the nanoparticles, but no significant change in maximum wavelength when the microtubules are elongated. We also perform kinetic experiments and demonstrate that the maximum wavelength is sensitive to the microtubule nuclei assembly even when microtubules are too small to be detected from an optical density measurement.

Abstract
Size-controlled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesised with solutions of three types of Polish honeys (lime, multiflower, honeydew) and used in microwave-induced hyperthermia cancer treatment. Optical and structural properties of nanostructures were optimized in reference to measurements made by using UV/Vis absorption spectrophotometry (UV/Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) supported by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR). In addition, concentrations of reducing sugars and polyphenols of honeys applied were determined to reveal the role of these chemical compounds in green synthesis of AuNPs. It was found that the smallest AuNPs (20.6 ± 23.3 nm) were produced using a 20% (w/v) multiflower aqueous honey solution and 25 mg·L-1 of Au(III) ions. These AuNPs were then employed in microwave-induced hyperthermia in a system simulating metastatic tissues. This research illustrated that AuNPs, as produced with the aid of a multiflower honey solution, could be suitably used for microwave-induced heating of cancer. A fluid containing resultant Au nanostructures, as compared to water, revealed facilitated heating and the ability to maintain a temperature of 45 °C required for hyperthermia treatment.

Abstract
A novel type of transparent monitor with high-resolution images based on Si-SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles is presented in this contribution. In this monitor, a quasi-array of nanoparticles was used to obtain a very sharp scattering profile. For this purpose, the Si-SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and with controlling the size of particles, the dominant emission wavelength was controlled. For the fabrication of a blue color transparent monitor the solution processed Si-SiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed in polystyrene and then coated on a transparent glass surface. After drying the film, the typical features representing a transparent monitor were studied. A video projector was used and text and pictures were sent on the monitor. This monitor reveals very attractive features such as simplicity, wide viewing angle, scalability to larger sizes and low cost. Importantly, the texts and pictures can be well presented on both sides of the fabricated monitor. The composite thin film can be also separated from the glass and can be used as a flexible display. To shed light on the impact of the structure on the optical properties Si-SiO2 and Ag nanomaterials representing perfect arrays of nanoparticles, quasi-arrays and randomly oriented nanoparticles were calculated/simulated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results were compared to the experimental data and show a high accordance.

Abstract
To facilitate the implementation of biosensors based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of metal nanostructures, there is a great need for cost-efficient, flexible, and tunable methods for producing plasmonic coatings. Due to its simplicity and excellent conformity, electroless plating (EP) is well suited for this task. However, it is traditionally optimized to produce continuous metal films, which cannot be employed in LSPR sensors. Here, we outline the development of an EP strategy for depositing island-like silver nanoparticle (NP) films on glass with distinct LSPR bands. The fully wet-chemical process only employs standard chemicals and proceeds within minutes at room temperature. The key step for producing spread-out NP films is an accelerated ripening of the silver seed layer in diluted hydrochloric acid, which reduces the nucleation density during plating. The reaction kinetics and mechanisms are investigated with scanning (transmission) electron microscopy (SEM/STEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-vis spectroscopy, with the latter enabling a convenient live monitoring of the deposition, allowing its termination at a stage of desired optical properties. The sensing capabilities of chemically deposited NP films as LSPR transducers are exemplified in DNA biosensing. To this end, a sensing interface is prepared using layer-by-layer (LbL) buildup of polyelectrolytes (PE), followed by adsorption and covalent immobilization of ssDNA. The obtained LSPR transducers demonstrate robustness and selectivity in sensing experiments with binding complementary and unrelated DNA strands.

Abstract
Biosensing of cancer biomarkers enabling early diagnosis of cancer constitutes an essential tool for clinical intervention and application of novel therapies against cancer disease. Optical biosensor instruments as point-of-care (POC) devices and operating under label-free scheme have demonstrated to provide fast, simple, and high-sensitivity assays even at home care environment. Nanoplasmonic biosensors are thought to be a powerful tool for detection of complex analytes of relevant clinical applications. Using high-throughput fabrication techniques, large surface patterned with gold nanodisk structures is obtained showing surface sensitivities with limit of detection (LOD) in the order of picomolar concentration range. Here, we describe two major assay methodologies used for detection of lung and colorectal cancer, respectively. Particularly, we have selected a complementary hybridization DNA/RNA assay for the assessment of two miRNAs (miRNA-210 and miRNA-205) for detection of lung cancer. However, for colorectal cancer we present the detection of four tumor-associated antigen (TAA) biomarkers (MAPKAPK3, PIM-1, STK4, and GTF2B) as possible TAA targets for autoantibody production. Strategies for detecting these biomarkers in real samples such as serum are also presented, demonstrating the capabilities of these assays to be transferred to real clinical settings.
