The 242nd ACS National Meeting started today in Denver, CO, USA, and the Physical Chemistry Division kicked off with a symposium on SERS which will run all week.
The Advances in SERS and Molecular Plasmonics symposium began with an exciting talk by Richard Van Duyne. His lecture entitled “Pushing the limits: Single molecule and single particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy”, followed by further talks on single molecule SERS and plasmonically-enhanced hot spots.
Read Richard van Duyne’s PCCP Perspective, which is from the recent PCCP web-themed issue on Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering:
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of dyes: from single molecules to the artists’ canvas
