Ultrafast Confocal Raman Imaging

As a preview to the SciX 2024 conference, Spectroscopy sat down with Ioan Notingher to discuss about what he is looking forward to at SciX 2024.

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

This application note explores the latest advancements in carbon quantum dots and the critical role of spectroscopy, demonstrating Avantes spectrometers.

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.

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Technology have developed a leading-edge method using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to accurately differentiate between amino acid enantiomers. This breakthrough could revolutionize applications in pharmaceutical synthesis, disease diagnosis, and quality control of chiral compounds.

A recent study in Icarus examined how Mars’ ultraviolet radiation affects mineral composition on the planet’s surface.
