What Role Do Wave-Like Properties Play in Nanosensors?
Wave-like properties are critical in the development of nanosensors. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a technique that utilizes plasmonic nanoparticles to amplify the Raman signal of molecules, enabling highly sensitive detection. The enhancement arises from the interaction between the wave-like properties of light and the surface plasmons of the nanoparticles.
