Plasmon-assisted electrochemistry offers a new approach to deploy light energy for activating or powering electroconversions of utility the manufacturing chemicals and fuels. Plasmonic excitation boosts modulates electrochemical processes on plasmonic nanostructures. Nonthermal carriers produced by promote enhanced reaction kinetics even modes electrocatalytic activity not typically accessible ...

The base pair stack of DNA has been demonstrated as a medium for long-range charge transport chemistry both in solution and at DNA-modified surfaces. This chemistry is exquisitely sensitive to structural perturbations in the base pair stack as occur with lesions, single base mismatches, and protein binding. We have exploited this sensitivity for the development of reliable electrochemical assay...

The application of ultrasound to a solution in contact with a semiconductor working electrode leads to a change in its open circuit potential, that is, to the appearance of a sonopotential sensitive to both ultrasonic power and solution composition.
