Shining light : Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers much in terms of molecularly specific information at ultrasensitive levels. Two recent breakthroughs have occured in this field. First, a new surface was developed that provides SERS information previously inaccessible, and second, a nanoparticle SERS label was introduced to image antigens relating to cancer in tissue.
