If you happen to be in Wien today and have some time in the afternoon feel invited to join this seminar (on plasmonic nanoparticles of course ☺️) and discussion:

Anisotropy, not anarchy!
Florian Schulz brings order to the world of anisotropic #EmergentNano nanoparticles, untangling plasmonic and catalytic effects at #MATSUS25@nanoGe_Conf
A nice transient absorption based study on energy conversion in hybrid nanostructures (Au-Pd). Fig. 5 sums it all up: on picosecond timescales the Pd "satellites" heat up much more efficiently than the gold "core"...

We measured the self-assembly of nanoparticles with a vertical SAXS geometry allowing to oberve the formation and densification of the superlattice nicely, the experiment is described here:

If you are interested, check out the high resolution optical microscopy image collected during the measurements in Figure S2. Looks a little wild but is actually a snapshot of the different stages of crystallization.
Out now in Nanotoday @ElsevierConnect !
Interesting Paper on how the encaspulation of Gold nanocluster in a biodegradable polymer matrix changes their endo- and exocytosis:

Here you can see one example of pentagonal nanobipyramids self-assembled into a beautiful superstructure. At the edges we can also discern what seems to be the "soft" polymer coating.
Very happy that this paper is now out, open access! A nice cooperation of colloidal chemistry, electron microscopy and nanooptics/spectroscopy experts from Paris, Berlin and Hamburg.

We assembled pentagonal nanobipyramids into crystalline structures and studied the resulting near- and far-field properties, check out the structures in the SI...
Großartiger Erfolg! 👏 Die Uni Hamburg hat im Rahmen der Exzellenzstrategie den Zuschlag für vier Exzellenzcluster erhalten. Damit werden die bestehenden Exzellenzcluster ab 2026 für sieben weitere Jahre gefördert. uhh.de/f1iz0 (1/2)
Exciting day for many researchers in germany, today it will be announced which clusters of excellence will receive funding in the next period!
