Journal Highlight: Structure of silk by raman spectromicroscopy: From the spinning glands to the fibers  [registered users only]
This review describes recent advances in the study of the structure of silk by Raman spectromicroscopy, with particular emphasis on the spider dragline and silkworm cocoon threads, other fibers spun by orb-weaving spiders, the spinning dope contained in their silk glands and the effect of mechanical deformation.

Graphene: It runs right through a river? 
A research team in Japan has synthesized the "wonder material" graphene by reducing graphene oxide using microorganisms extracted from a local river. Analysis by Raman spectroscopy verifies the chemistry of the graphene flakes. [April 1, 2012]

Journal Highlight: Laser induced temperature effects in multi-walled carbon nanotubes probed by Raman spectroscopy  [registered users only]
The influence of continuous laser irradiation on as-prepared and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was studied by Raman scattering, allowing for the effects of impurities on the signals. [March 5, 2012]
