Researchers have demonstrated invented a wireless electroplasmonic nanoelectrode technology enabling label-free optical (wireless) detection of extracellular electrophysiological signals (cell spiking) using optical imaging microscopes. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 18th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Habib at University of California Santa Cruz, in Santa Cruz, CA, and colleagues was titled, "Electro-plasmonic nanoantenna: A nonfluorescent optical probe for ultrasensitive label-free detection of electrophysiological signals." view more
