Virtual Issue on Plasmonics

Nanomaterials have many exciting properties, not the least of which are their distinctive interactions with light. Plasmonics, as described in this issue's editorial, is "the manipulation of light by metallic nanostructures due to resonant oscillations of their free electrons". In this virtual issue, Associate Editors Jason Hafner and Peter Nordlander highlight recent ACS Nano articles in this emerging field.

ACS Nano published a Virtual Issue on Nanotoxicology in October 2010 and a Virtual Issue on Drug Delivery in February 2011. Several additional Virtual Issues will be released in 2011. We hope they will be a valuable resource for the scientific community.
