All rights reserved. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mattod.2017.01.030 Light and its applications permeate many fields, including chemistry, physics, medicine, and the nature of light makes it an ideal information and energy carrier. Aiming to take better advantage of this potential, many researchers are devoted to understanding how to effectively manipulate light for specific purposes. Inspired by the pioneering work from Gustav Mie in 1908, it has been recognized that metal nanoparticles are able to tune light through the interaction of free electrons in metals with photons. This attractive capacity of metal nanostructures has been under scientific scrutiny for over a century, culminating in the niche
