Scientists invent new way to sort cells by type using light

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a new method for high-throughput single-cell sorting that uses stimulated Raman spectroscopy rather than the traditional approach of fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The new ...

Carbon dioxide, not water, triggers explosive basaltic volcanoes

Geoscientists have long thought that water—along with shallow magma stored in Earth's crust—drives volcanoes to erupt. Now, thanks to newly developed research tools at Cornell, scientists have learned that gaseous carbon ...

Gourmet or imitation? New technique ferrets out food fraud

When you shell out for artisanal food—Swiss Gruyère cheese, organic vanilla extract, Italian prosciutto—do you get what you paid for? With global food fraud estimates as high as $40 billion a year, it's a question Purdue ...

Novel Raman technique breaks through 50 years of frustration

Raman spectroscopy—a chemical analysis method that shines monochromatic light onto a sample and records the scattered light that emerges—has caused frustration among biomedical researchers for more than half a century. ...

Looking deeper into graphene using rainbow scattering

Graphene is a two-dimensional wonder material that has been suggested for a wide range of applications in energy, technology, construction, and more since it was first isolated from graphite in 2004.

Engineers reveal the secrets behind green graphene

When Ange Nzihou, an expert in converting society's waste into valuable products, visited Princeton in 2022, he brought with him a technique to transform waste biomass into graphene, a material with many uses from batteries ...
