Recently, there has been significant interest in the use of chiral metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs) and coordination polymers (CPs) for photonics applications. The promise of these …

Driven by applications in chemical sensing, biological imaging and material
characterisation, Raman spectroscopies are attracting growing interest from a variety of …

Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm
in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (< 1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In …

Raman microspectroscopy offers microbiologists a rapid and non-destructive technique to
assess the chemical composition of individual live microorganisms in near real time. In this …

All molecules consist of chemical bonds, and much can be learned from mapping the
spatiotemporal dynamics of these bonds. Since its invention a decade ago, stimulated …

Advancement in mid-infrared (MIR) technology has led to promising biomedical applications
of MIR spectroscopy, such as liquid biopsy or breath diagnosis. On the contrary, MIR …

BACKGROUND Biomolecules can serve as natural labels for microscopy by measuring their
molecular vibration spectra in living cells and tissues. However, the transition from …

The ability to visualize directly a large number of distinct molecular species inside cells is
increasingly essential for understanding complex systems and processes. Even though …

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has shown enormous potential in revealing
molecular structures, dynamics, and couplings in complex systems. However, the sensitivity …

Raman spectroscopy is an increasingly popular technique in many areas, including biology
and medicine. It is based on Raman scattering, a phenomenon in which incident photons …
