High-Speed Immune Cell Identification Using New Advanced Raman BCARS Spectroscopy Technique
July 16th 2025Irish researchers have developed a lightning-fast, label-free spectroscopic imaging method capable of classifying immune cells in just 5 milliseconds. Their work with broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) pushes the boundaries of cellular analysis, potentially transforming diagnostics and flow cytometry.
Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker 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.
Integrating Spectroscopy with Machine Learning to Differentiate Seed Varieties
July 15th 2025Researchers at the University of Belgrade have demonstrated that combining Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy with machine learning algorithms offers a highly accurate, non-destructive method for identifying seed varieties in lettuce, paprika, and tomato.
