Dr David Nixon and I discuss interesting visual phenomena while looking at dental anesthetic from India.

Formation of 4 Plasmonic Molecules in anesthetic? Lets take a look.

The Single nano molecules we see in all anesthetics so far revealed another interesting feature today. The formation of four plasmonic molecules was witnessed strewing out from an event point that lasted only 1/2 a second approx. This was not all we saw.

David and I had a conversation about these new microscopic findings that showed up on a slide this morning. I was quite intrigued by all the different things we could see going on here. I had not seen these formations before, but David certainly had over time while viewing other samples of injectable products.

A sales pitch from the India based pharmaceutical company which develops drugs, brand intentionally left out.

Anyway, straight into it shall we. David already obtained a paper from Shimon Yanowitz in earlier conversation. He has a knack for identifying visual phenomena through his research. It would seem to be at least a good lead.

Here is a quote from an article explaining the basic concept of plasmonic particles: Click HERE for original link to the article.

“ A research team at the University of Göttingen has now succeeded in achieving the same precise arrangement of atoms shown in molecules, but using nanometer-sized particles, known as ‘plasmonic molecules’—combinations of nano scale metallic structures that have unique properties. The results were published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, which has classified the article as a ‘very important paper’. "

“ There is a transition area between molecular and macroscopic levels, an in-between zone called the nanometer range, where there is often a disordered aggregation of particles. Precise arrangement of nanometer-sized structures is one of the major challenges in the ongoing miniaturization in electronics, optics and medicine.

In this novel process developed by Dr. Yinging Cai and Professor Philipp Vana at Göttingen University's Institute of Physical Chemistry, the nanometer-sized particles are mixed together as in a chemical reaction and then arrange themselves completely independently into molecule-like structures. "

" The approach here is to connect the particles using tailor-made polymer chains that interlock like two hands. We can control the force of this handshake via the type and length of the polymers and via the solvent used in which the reaction takes place," explains Cai. The result is plasmonic molecules, which all have the same regular arrangement and can be produced quickly in large quantities—an important prerequisite for making these compounds useful and usable for a multitude of functions in the world of nanotechnology. ”

" By developing these plasmonic molecules, we have been able to establish chemical principles in the nano world that open up a whole new cosmos," says Vana. "And we may just be witnessing the birth of a new kind of plasmonic chemistry that could lead to a wealth of new nano materials. "

Obviously we can see an involvement with polymers as a means of bonding structures here and we can also note that there are many possibilities for these kinds of synthetic molecules which can be used in many ways. Note that most of this technology is being spoken of in such a way, that might make one believe it is so recent that those building possibilities might not yet be discovered. But here we are, looking at products for human beings that look like they may contain these very same or similar type complex sciences.

It has become apparent from reading into technology papers that many of the self forming wonders we see are only explained most often as being created under lab conditions using awkward processes. Obviously what we have seen so far observing pharmaceuticals, seems to be a whole complex string of separate technologies knitted together, which are able to unfold their developing stages independently of being in a lab environment. In the above image it is worth observing the fact that the singular particles seem to be repelled by the empty bubble like structures. The same is observed around the four particle molecule structures. Nothing seems to want to be in the close proximity here and it is possible that the properties of these formed structures are repelling the single particles

Obviously the bubbles are likely not simple empty structures, but that is something still being looked into by many of us. Here we have the implication that they possibly had something to do with the very speedy reactions that took place before spewing out these polymer bonded particles in to what looks like four plasmonic particles formed as a molecule. Remember that it is known for these particles to produce luminescence enough that they seem bigger than the nanometer description when using dark field microscopy. This phenomena is known and tangible within science literature.

A day before those four particle molecules appeared some gel or polymer spheres that were glowing very brightly had burst while the slide was drying out. This is what was left behind them. A dense field of particles which all seem to be moving very slightly as if they were floating somehow; floating on what? This is a good question because the slide seems dry. The outer dots glow differently and are scattered more openly. This might be due to many factors such as photons, electrons, or other scattered energy sources that may be present. You can see the Gel which shrunk in the center seems to be highly light reactive, and this may contain the part polymer material that may have formed the sphere structures capsule before it burst. Does this have a photonic reaction with the other particles and structures by means of almost amplifying or redirecting light waves?

The next day we saw crystal structures in place surrounding the polymer gel like structure in the middle. These might look a little like uric crystals (the kind associated with Gout). However I am sure they are not exactly uric crystals as they seem to have come as a result of separating from the glowing gel structures. Although I loosely use the term glow, these structures seem to be very responsive to any light that is present. They do not appear without a light source or in darkness. The same is noted with fibers and some other structures. The seem to bounce light waves around inside rather nicely. The fibers show this in polarized viewing and exhibited wonderful colors that make one almost say this still is beautiful, almost! Primarily these initial observations are being repeated before we go getting any ideas. However interesting papers are surfacing which show possible matches to some of the visually observable technology concepts we are seeing here. Keep a look out for further articles on these observations.

CHECK OUT DR DAVID NIXON’S CONTINUATION OF THIS ARTICLE REGARDING THE AMAZING CRYSTAL IMAGES HE OBTAINED FROM THE SAME SAMPLE.

Here is a taster of the least exciting images showing fibers forming and trying to connect to the crystals it would seem. Something many of us have seen before now. David really captured some much better images that you must see over on his coming post. David has been a big fan of using the histogram feature to enhance colored light waves in his images since I showed him what it can do. He is the master of that tool now it seems, and it produces good results at times.

Big thanks to all those who have already contributed, and a big thanks to those thinking of doing so in the future.
