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"...

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.
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:

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.
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. https://t.co/U5wzhkkm37 (1/2)
