With the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics due to be announced on Tuesday 8 October, Physics World journalists pick their favourite Nobel awards from the past. Here Anna Demming argues the case for the ...

Nick Stone discusses some of the many ways in which light can be used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications ...

Safe and effective high explosives are critical to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL) mission of stockpile ...

Raman Scattering or Raman Effect is the inelastic scattering of a photon. This was first reported by CV Raman for which he was awarded the Nobel prize in 1930.

Raman scattering and Fluorescence emission are two competing phenomena, which have similar origins. Generally, a laser photon bounces off a molecule and looses a certain amount of energy that allows ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2025.240027 , discusses tip-enhanced Raman scattering of glucose molecules.

Although Raman scattering is used commercially to analyze liquids and solids, applying it for the detection of low concentrations of gas requires a way to enhance the Raman scattering signal, ...

Raman spectrography uses the Raman scattering of photons from a laser or other coherent light beam to measure the vibrational state of molecules. In chemistry, this is useful for identifying ...

Raman Effect, also known as Raman Scattering, is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when it is deflected by molecules. A light beam traversing through a transparent sample of a ...

The Raman signal 160 in FIG. 3 may be produced by coherent anti- Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in which the pump and Stokes beams interact with a sample 150 to produce a Raman signal 160 at or ...
