New technology could remotely identify various types of plastics, offering a valuable tool for future monitoring and analysis of oceanic plastic pollution. A new hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar ...

Researchers developed a GFP-based microbial biosensor for microplastics detection, enhancing sensitivity and speed through ...

During light scattering, the majority of scattered light undergoes no change in frequency (or energy), in a process referred to as referred to as elastic or Rayleigh scattering. Raman spectroscopy ...

Raman spectroscopy is a molecular spectroscopy, which is observed as inelastically scattered light and enables the interrogation and identification of vibrational (phonon) states of molecules.

We don’t often think of plastics as having “fingerprints.” But they do. And, as we continue to find microparticles in unexpected places — from local anchovy and seabird guts to the deepest trenches of ...

Raman spectroscopy can be combined with optical confocal microscopy to generate a new analytic technique called Raman microscopy. Light microscopy has several advantages: it can be used to observe ...

Law enforcement personnel, laboratory technicians, crime scene investigators and many others face a significant challenge for identification of materials in a forensic investigation. During an ...
