Plastics are an integral but largely inconspicuous part of daily human routines. The present
review paper uses cross-disciplinary scientific literature to examine and assess the possible …

Conspectus Flow cytometry is a powerful tool with applications in diverse fields such as
microbiology, immunology, virology, cancer biology, stem cell biology, and metabolic …

Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm
in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (< 1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In …

Label-free vibrational imaging by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) provides
unprecedented insight into real-time chemical distributions. Specifically, SRS in the …

Microplastics have been observed in indoor and outdoor air. This raises concern for human
exposure, especially should they occur in small enough sizes, which if inhaled, reach the …

Spontaneous Raman (SR) microscopy allows label‐free chemically specific imaging based
on the vibrational response of molecules; however, due to the low Raman scattering cross …

The abundance of plastic products in modern society has resulted in a proliferation of small
plastic particles called “microplastics” in the global environment. Currently, spectroscopic …

Label-free histology with chemical contrast has great potential for rapid intraoperative
diagnosis. Two-color stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has shown success in …

In a random laser (RL), optical feedback arises from multiple scattering instead of
conventional mirrors. RLs generate a laser-like emission, and meanwhile take advantage of …

This article shows the latest advances in the spectroscopic analysis of cancer cells to identify
pathological changes and understand the mechanism of metastasis using stimulated …
