Bowtie Nanoantennas (IMAGE)
Caption
An array of gold nanoparticles in the shape of triangles that are paired in a tip-to-tip formation, like a bow-tie, can serve as optical antennas, capturing and concentrating light waves into well-defined hot spots, where the plasmonic effect is greatly amplified.
