"Our technique uses stimulated Raman scattering, where the laser stimulates much higher frequency vibrations in the material, and is thousands of times more effective at narrowing linewidth." ...

A team has reported a Raman microscopy technique that produced images up to eight times brighter than those achieved with conventional Raman techniques. Imaging of frozen biological samples reduced ...

In this interview, Professor Igor K. Lednev discusses the potential of Raman spectroscopy to replace biochemical tests as a universal analytical technique for bodily fluids (biological stains) in ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that vastly improves readings of protein-to-ligand interactions through Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy -- a chemical analysis method that shines ...

Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a versatile, non-destructive, label-free technique for probing the molecular composition of biological matter. By measuring inelastic scattering of monochromatic ...

Nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy encompasses a suite of methods that exploit the strong electromagnetic fields generated by plasmonic nanostructures to amplify the inherently weak Raman ...

Raman imaging techniques are used to obtain information about the molecular vibrations and crystal structure of a sample. Image pixels are used to acquire a complete spectrum, which is subsequently ...

Every year in the US, about 6.8 million people donate blood. After a person donates blood, the clock starts ticking for its ingredients—the plasma, platelets, and red blood cells—that might be ...

As a probe of vibrational transitions, Raman scattering has made great progress since it was first discovered and is considered a phenomenon that has led to the development of various schemes and ...

A new integrated platform from developers Schott, Infors, and tec5 could facilitate extended use of Raman spectroscopy in bioreactors, and allow more in-situ process monitoring. Production of the ...

Raman spectroscopy — a chemical analysis method that shines monochromatic light onto a sample and records the scattered light that emerges — has caused frustration among biomedical researchers for ...
