The extreme accuracy and speed of NBA three-pointer Stephen Curry’s long-range shots are well known to basketball fans around the world, but accuracy and speed are also a focus of research in biochemical testing. Dr. Yen Ta-Jen, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, has published a paper about deep UV surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (DUV-SERRS) in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, in which he revises conceptions about light diffraction also creating a fast, accurate spectral application. It is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in rapid screening for cancer and other diseases, and also has potential applications in such areas as genome screening, biomedical engineering, polymer synthesis, forensics, environmental and food safety, pharmaceuticals, and materials analysis.
