Guest Post: Sensing by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) : to the Moon and back down to earth again

Guest Post: Sensing by Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) : to the Moon and back down to earth again

This is a guest post by Gaëlle Charron, Maîtresse de conférences at Université de Paris Diderot I was about to submit a paper about the detection of atomic ions by SERS the other day. The paper had been in the pipeline for months. I went through a last survey of the recent literature to check for fresh references that it would have been unfair to leave out. When I bumped into a 22 pages review…
