    Visualizing electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale by single molecule localization Christian Steuwea,b, Miklos Erdelyia, G. Szekeresc, M. Csetec, Jeremy J Baumbergb, Sumeet Mahajan*d and Clemens F. Kaminski*a a Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge, CB2 3RA, UK b Nanophotonics Centre, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, J J Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 0HE, UK c Department of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged, H-6720 Szeged, Dóm tér 9, Hungary d Institute for Life Sciences and Department of Chemistry, University of Southampton, University Road, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Corresponding authors: SM ([email protected]), CFK([email protected]) Coupling of light to the free electrons at metallic surfaces allows the confinement of electric fields to sub-wavelength dimensions, far below the optical diffraction limit. 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.

After months of weather that required some additional determination to get out and train, I think most club members will be looking forward to the traditional spring road races and the start of the Track and Field season. I hope that our fell and off road specialists, who seemingly revelled in the mud and adverse weather will cope with the warmer and hopefully at least drier weather! The club seniors who ran the London Marathon and got sunburnt whilst doing so, must have had mixed feelings about the return of the sun! I hope everyone has a good summer at whatever their favourite discipline is.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

After the attacks at the Boston Marathon, Twitter was filled with tweets using the hashtags #Boston, #prayforboston and #bostonstrong. This exhibit focuses on what world leaders were tweeting about in response to the attacks. Along with the tweets themselves, the exhibit provides context for the tweet, adding more to the story than can be told in 140 characters.
