Uncovering How Radiation Damages Molecules Over Femtoseconds

by Loh Zhi Heng | Sep 23, 2019

Now, researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have performed the first experimental study showing how ionizing radiation alters organic molecules dissolved in water, over time-frames of just one quadrillionth of a second – a femtosecond.

Emerging opportunities in SERS: analyte manipulation and hybrid materials

by Nurhidayah Binte Amirhamzsa | Sep 23, 2019

Scientists in NTU have identified promising strategies to improve surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), namely via analyte manipulation and creating hybrid SERS platforms. Headed by Ling Xing Yi at NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, the group has shown that these two techniques are emerging strategies to address limitations found in traditional SERS platforms. These findings were reported in November 2018 in the journal Chemical Society Reviews.
