Caption: How far a wavelength of light can be transmitted along a gold nanoparticle chain to where it dies down (the "extinction" point) depends on the configuration of the repeat units – the nanoparticles themselves – according to Rice University researchers. Their study was intended to draw parallels between nanoparticle arrays and polymers that also depend on chemical repeat units for their characteristics.
