Vol 35 No s2 Raman Technology for Today's Spectroscopists

Pakistani scientists recently used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to characterize the metabolites of sulfuric compounds.

An interview with Paul Pudney, a winner of the William F. Meggers Award.

Scientists from the Lodz University of Technology in Lodz, Poland created a new system to analyze normal and cancer human colon cells.

Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.

Chinese scientists recently made a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based approach to detect synthetic antioxidants in food samples.

Here are the top five articles that the editors of Spectroscopy published this week.
