Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical method that generates complex information about the phase, chemical structure and crystallinity of sample matter. A range of molecular interactions ...

The Raman effect is based on light scattering. In most instances, light that “hits” a molecule does not interact with it and so the photon does not lose energy. This process is known as elastic ...

Raman spectroscopy, compatible with molecular and material samples, is one of the most popular quantitative and qualitative spectroscopic techniques. A sample has a distinct Raman “fingerprint” that ...

Engineers at Johns Hopkins University say they are using a non-invasive optical probe to understand the complex changes in tumors after immunotherapy. Their method combines detailed mapping of the ...

Raman spectroscopy has been highlighted as a vital tool for characterizing 2D materials-based van der Waal heterostructures. In this article, we explore its applications in analyzing graphene, TMDs ...

A team led by Prof. DONG Chunhua from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Prof. BO Fang's group from Nankai University, has successfully developed a ...

Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand – a discovery that could revolutionise quantum ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
