While this is routinely used to manipulate light at the nanoscale 1, in electro-optic devices 2 and enhanced spectroscopic techniques 3-6, no characterization technique for imaging the underlying nanoscopic electromagnetic fields exists which does not perturb the field 4, 7 or employs complex electron beam imaging 8, 9. Here, we demonstrate the direct visualization of electromagnetic fields on patterned metallic substrates at nanometer resolution, exploiting a strong ‘autonomous’ fluorescence-blinking behavior of single molecules within the confined fields allowing their localization. Use of DNA-constructs for precise positioning of fluorescence dyes on the surface induces this distance-dependent autonomous blinking thus completely obviating the need for exogenous agents or switching methods. Mapping such electromagnetic field distributions at nanometer resolution aids the rational design of nanometals for diverse photonic applications. -

Degrees of Influence: the Politics of Honorary Degrees in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, 1900–2000
Minerva (2007) 45:389–416 Ó Springer 2007 DOI 10.1007/s11024-007-9065-8 MICHAEL HEFFERNAN and HEIKE JO¨ NS DEGREES OF INFLUENCE: THE POLITICS OF HONORARY DEGREES IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE, 1900–2000 ABSTRACT. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge had developed different attitudes towards the award of honorary degrees through the early and middle decades of the twentieth century. Recently, both have adopted a similar cautious and apolitical stance. This essay describes the role of honorary degrees in the production and reproduction of their cultural and intellectual authority of these two ancient universities. INTRODUCTION This paper offers the first systematic analysis of the politics of hon- orary degree conferment in Britain, drawing on the experiences of Oxford and Cambridge universities.1 As medieval foundations with collegiate structures, Oxford and Cambridge stand apart from the other English universities, most of which received university status in the twentieth century.2 The term ÔOxbridge’, coined in 1849 by William Thackeray, perfectly encapsulates the mystique of these institutions. Their aura of Ôeffortless superiority’, artfully cultivated in countless novels and films, has been sustained by an intense riv- alry that permeates laboratory and library alike. Oxford and Cam- bridge have reputations for world-class research and teaching, an excellence regularly affirmed in Ôleague tables’ that purport to mea- sure university performance. The fact that Oxford and Cambridge 1 There is little serious research on honorary degrees.
