TL;DR: This Account highlights the group's effort to leverage nanoscale chiral light-matter interactions to detect, characterize, and separate enantiomers, potentially down to the single molecule level.

TL;DR: Recent, complementary advances in SERS substrates, machine learning, and microfluidics and bioprinting can be readily translated from laboratory bench to patient bedside, accelerating point-of-care diagnosis, personalized medicine, and precision health.

TL;DR: The robust liquid-SERS measurements provide a foundation for bacterial identification and drug testing in biological fluids, and it is shown that higher signal results from attraction between positively-charged nanorods and negatively-charged bacteria.

TL;DR: This work fabricates free standing porous multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films using cultured, harmless bacteria as porogens, and demonstrates substantial Li-oxygen battery performance improvement by porosity control.

TL;DR: This is the first study predicting a cooperative enhancement of the nonlinear optical response in energetic materials composed of relatively small molecules, and the proposed model quantum chemistry is validated by comparison to crystal structure geometries and the optical absorption of these materials dissolved in solution.
