    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the research which shows that silver nanoparticles with regular orcathedral shapes could pack together to form three-dimensional plasmonic crystals, under the influence of gravity. The research conducted by the University of California in Berkeley, California led by Peidong Yang reveals that crystals are formed by allowing the nanoparticles to pack together before evaporating the ethanol. It likewise notes that the optical properties of the crystal varies on how tight the nanoparticles were packed together.
