Raman @ spectroscopyNOW
The Raman spectroscopy channel covers research into all aspects of this non-destructive technique including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and related applications such as drug detection, forensics, environmental analysis, art and archaeology research, food quality analysis, homeland security, cancer research and material science.
Monthly Highlight
Last Month's Most Accessed Feature: TNT, meet graphene: Explosive sensor
Another chemical pie in which graphene has its lacy carbon fingers is in the form of a sensitive and selective detection system for the common explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT). Silver nanoparticles functionalised with p-aminothiophenol (PATP) and supported on graphene sheets allow the straightforward surface-ehanced Raman spectroscopic SERS) detection of the explosive.

Journal Highlight: In vivo probing of the temperature responses of intracellular biomolecules in yeast cells by label-free Raman microspectroscopy
spectroscopyNOW
Jun 3, 2013
The in vivo probing, achieved with label-free Raman microspectroscopy, of the temperature responses of major intracellular components such as lipids and proteins in living fission yeast cells is presented.
A newly developed, single-step algorithm for processing Raman spectra can reveal the presence of microcalcifications in breast tissue that are often associated with breast cancer lesions and so improve the precision of diagnosis of the disease itself at the early stages without multiple biopsies of suspicious lumps.
