TL;DR: The experimental data taken in the NanoPhotonics Group at the Cavendish Laboratory (University of Cambridge) collected between 1/10/2014 to 1/02/2016 were used in this paper for single-molecule strong coupling at room temperature in plasmonic nanocavities.

TL;DR: This work found that individual atomic features inside the gap of a plasmonic nanoassembly can localize light to volumes well below 1 cubic nanometer, enabling optical experiments on the atomic scale, and sets the basis for developing nanoscale nonlinear quantum optics on the single-molecule level.

TL;DR: Kememann et al. as discussed by the authors showed that room-temperature plasmon strong coupling can be achieved in compact, robust, and easily assembled gold nano-gap resonators at room temperature.

TL;DR: It is reported that entropy and spherical confinement suffice for the formation of icosahedral clusters consisting of up to 100,000 particles that are entropically favoured over the bulk face-centred cubic crystal structure.
