Raman technique spots early-stage viruses In the laboratory, scientists and clinicians have come to rely on Raman spectroscopy because of its ability to provide chemically specific information about biospecimens. A variation on conventional methods, called coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) — in which femtosecond laser pulses cause molecules to vibrate in unison — has been used for identifying anthrax and mold spores, among...

Imaging Method Reveals the Way Plants Take Up Water Researchers at the University of Nottingham report the development of a way to observe how plant roots take in and circulate water at the cellular level. The work could help to identify future drought- and flood-resistant crops. The inability to monitor water uptake inside roots without damaging the specimen has been an obstacle for researchers seeking to understand the motion of fluids in living...

What the biomedical community could learn from the pandemic A significant problem for innovators of medical devices is how long new designs take to reach production and get into the hands of the consumers who can use them. This dilemma has become glaringly obvious as America, Europe, and the rest of the world has grappled with a disrupted supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Governmental regulation is part of the problem, requiring multiple layers...

Blueberry, blueberry sitting on a bush No one sees the effects of climate change as clearly, or as early, as farmers. Changes in precipitation and increases in temperature can have a dramatic impact on crop yield, and the earlier that farmers can learn what type of weather is coming, the better they can prepare to protect the growing season. To that end, researchers at the University of Maine (UMaine) used imaging spectroscopy to...
