TL;DR: LIBS data from the individual laser shots were analyzed by principal-components analysis and were found to contain adequate information to afford discrimination among the different biomaterials.

TL;DR: Results from Fourier-Transform Infraredspectroscopy of DNA macromolecules and related biological materials in theterahertz frequency range are demonstrated and a correlation between calculated and experimentally observed spectra of the RNA polymers is demonstrated, confirming that the fundamental physicalnature of the observed resonance structure is caused by the internal vibration modes in the macromolescules.

TL;DR: A series of laboratory experiments have been performed highlighting the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a versatile sensor for the detection of terrorist threats as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a Kraitchman analysis of 14 rotational parameter sets was performed to identify the molecular structures of the three conformal isomers of the pure rotational spectrum of ethyl sulfide.

TL;DR: A direct comparison of spectra between different DNA samples reveals a large number of modes and a reasonable level of sequence-specific uniqueness, which establishes the initial foundation for the future use of submillimeter-wave spectroscopy in the identification and characterization of DNA macromolecules.
