Single-molecule fluorescence techniques 1 , 2 , 3 are key for a number of applications,
including DNA sequencing 4 , 5 , molecular and cell biology 6 , 7 and early diagnosis 8 . …

Plasmonic antennas have a profound impact on nanophotonics as they provide efficient means
to manipulate light and enhance light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. However, the …

Optical microscopy has for centuries been a key tool to study living cells with minimum
invasiveness. The advent of single molecule techniques over the past two decades has …

Optical nanoantennas have a great potential for enhancing light-matter interactions at the
nanometer scale, yet fabrication accuracy and lack of scalability currently limit ultimate …

Nonergodicity observed in single-particle tracking experiments is usually modeled by
transient trapping rather than spatial disorder. We introduce models of a particle diffusing in a …

Early studies have revealed that some mammalian plasma membrane proteins exist in small
nanoclusters. The advent of super-resolution microscopy has corroborated and extended …

Recruitment of receptor proteins to lipid rafts has been proposed as an important mechanism
to regulate their cellular function. In particular, rafts have been implicated in regulation of …

We exploit the strong excitonic coupling in a superradiant trimer molecule to distinguish
between long-lived collective dark states and photobleaching events. The population and …

A current challenge in cell motility studies is to understand the molecular and physical
mechanisms that govern chemokine receptor nanoscale organization at the cell membrane, and …

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) plays a key role in biochemistry, organic
photovoltaics, and lighting sources. FRET is commonly used as a nanoruler for the short (nanometer…
