New sensor for SERS Raman spectroscopy almost as sensitive as a dog's nose

Thursday, August 29, 2013 - 03:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Using carbon nanotubes, a research team led by Professor Hyung Gyu Park in collaboration with Dr. Tiziana Bond has developed a sensor that greatly amplifies the sensitivity of commonly used but typically weak vibrational spectroscopic methods, such as Raman spectroscopy. This type of sensor makes it possible to detect molecules present in the tiniest of concentrations.
