"Plasmonic nanoparticles" refers to very tiny particles, usually made of metals, that have unique properties related to the way their electrons interact with light. These particles can manipulate and control light at a very small scale, which has various applications, such as in improving solar cells or creating more efficient sensors for detecting substances.
Full definition
This discovery, enabling reshaping control
of plasmonic nanoparticles of multiple - length allows for continuous multi-level recording and reading with a capacity over 10 terabytes with no appreciable change of the baseline over 600 years, which opens new opportunities for long data memory that affects the past and future.
The team studied the light scattering in the visible and near - infrared wavelength regions from a cluster of two or three closely spaced
gold plasmonic nanoparticles.
The nanosensor design presented in this study combines three -
dimensional plasmonic nanoparticles with singularities called exceptional points — a combination that's being demonstrated for the first time.

Plasmonic nanoparticles are nanometer - sized crystals that absorb and react with light with extraordinary sensitivity.
Because their size, shape, composition and local environment all influence their properties,
plasmonic nanoparticles can be tuned for a wide range of applications.
