Clinical diagnosis has always been dependent on the efficient immobilization of
biomolecules in solid matrices with preserved activity, but significant developments have …

Investigation into nanostructured organic films has served many purposes, including the
design of functionalized surfaces that may be applied in biomedical devices and tissue …

Single molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SM-SERS) has the potential to
revolutionize quantitative analysis at ultralow concentrations (less than 1 nM). However …

We report the use of Polystyrene/Ag (PS/Ag) nanoparticles as dynamic surface-enhanced
Raman spectroscopy (dynamic-SERS) substrates for sensitive detection of low levels of …

The SERS enhancement factor (SERS-EF) is one of the most important parameters that
characterizes the ability of a given substrate to enhance the Raman signal for SERS …

Specifying the geometric and electronic structures of a metal–molecule interface at the
single-molecule level is crucial for the improvement of organic electronics. A single …

The detection of trace amounts of pesticides is essential for the quality control of waters,
particularly with their inevitable increasing use with the growing demand for food. In this …

Growing food demand has been addressed by protecting crops from insects, weeds, and
other organisms by increasing the application of pesticides, thus increasing the risk of …

An efficient superhydrophobic concentrator is developed using a hierarchical
superhydrophobic surface on which the evaporation of a sessile droplet (6 μL) drives the …
