For the first time, we report the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) arranged in a helical structure on a chiral metal-organic framework via a facile process at room temperature. This material can serve as a new type of surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensor for the efficient recognition of d/l-cysteine and d/l-asparagine enantiomers.

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5is), primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, have been severely misused in recent years, posing a threat to public health and safety. This study developed a method that combines Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with machine learning algorithms to rapidly identify different PDE5is types. A total of 948 SERS spectra from 79 PDE5is were collected using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the enhancement agent, and dimensionality reduction was performed through principal component analysis (PCA).

Crystal violet (CV) is a disinfectant and antifungal agent used in aquaculture that plays a vital role in treating aquatic diseases and sterilizing water. However, its potential for strong toxicity, including carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, upon accumulation in the body raises concerns regarding its safe use. Therefore, there is a growing need for the quantitative detection of CV in its early application stages to ensure human safety.

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, such as n-alkanes, poses a significant global threat to ecosystems and human health. Microbial remediation emerges as a promising strategy for addressing this issue through both aerobic and anaerobic processes. Notably, the majority of anaerobic hydrocarbon degraders identified to date are Gram-negative bacteria.

This study introduces a multifunctional device based on CuO/g-CN monitoring and purification p-n heterojunctions (MPHs), seamlessly integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection with photocatalytic degradation capabilities. The SERS and photocatalytic performances of the CuO in various morphologies, g-CN nanosheets (NSs) and CuO/g-CN MPHs with different g-CN mass ratios were systematically evaluated, with a particular emphasis on the CuO/g-CN-0.2 MPH, where g-CN constituted 20% of the total mass.

A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor with minimal invasiveness and high spatial resolution has been developed as a nanoendoscope to detect changes in protein concentrations at specific sites in biological tissues. While generally applicable to various tissues or proteins, the SERS nanoendoscope is demonstrated for the quantitative detection of S100β, an astrocytic protein whose plasmatic levels are known to vary in several neuropathologies such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, Down syndrome, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, but for which intratissular levels have not been locally monitored, demonstrating key attributes of the SERS nanoendoscope. The SERS nanoendoscope is fabricated with densely and well-dispersed deposited gold nanoparticles modified with anti-S100β primary antibody on pulled optical fibers with a tip diameter of 700 nm, conducive to noninvasive and regiospecific detection of the S100β protein in different regions of mouse brain slices under different physiological stimuli with micrometer resolution.
