Abstract

Using the resonant interaction between nanoscale metal structures and light waves, it is possible to create artificial color pigments. By applying this technique to immunochromatography, we will develop an ultra-high-sensitive virus detection device that can detect antigen or protein molecules from a virus as their color changes.
