图评：Rice University 不仅仅对自己的纳米科学研究很感兴趣，对自己的表现方式也是同样很感兴趣。上一期尝试过了趣味的版画风格，这一期认真的低调了一下，用石墨烯衬底，在上面摆满了大大小小的“金蛋”，让观众有发现了财宝一般的乐趣，材质表面用磨砂的质感来表达分量，而不是闪闪的金属光泽。磨砂的处理让元素既有重量感又有昂贵的价值感，如果用了金属的色泽这张设计就会变得庸俗而轻浮。

   

Plasmonic materials have properties that arise from their hybridized plasmons, a rigorous analogy with the molecular orbitals of quantum systems – a principle discovered at the Laboratory for Nanophotonics at Rice. The ensuing creation of plasmonic-nanostructure based media by a variety of synthesis and fabrication methods is resulting in a proliferation of new plasmonic materials and effects identified through both discovery and design. Further details can be found on p. 4842 in a review by Naomi Halas and co-workers.
