TL;DR: In this article, the use of Raman/laser induced fluorescence spectroscopic device that has the potential for viral detection via saliva from a safer distance is proposed. But, the proposed method does not require the presence of qualified professionals and sample processing with reagents unlike in RT-PCR test.

TL;DR: In this article, the results reveal that LIBS can be a potential alternative method for the meteorite fragment analysis and that it has other advantages like multi-elemental response, micro-nano gram level of destructiveness and portability of the instrument.

TL;DR: The observation that DNA damage is induced by plasma-induced photolysis of water suggests implications beyond studies of DNA and opens new vistas for using simple nanosecond lasers to probe how ultralow energy radiation may affect living matter under physiological conditions.

TL;DR: The present study deals with the in vivo measurement of auto-fluorescence from different anatomical sites of oral cavities of healthy volunteers, using a homebuilt Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Spectroscopy setup.

TL;DR: Results of experiments on strand breakages induced by thermalized particles produced upon plasma-induced photolysis of water, and their inhibition, suggest implications beyond studies of DNA; they open new vistas for utilizing simple nanosecond lasers to explore the effect of ultra-low energy radiation on living matter under physiologically-relevant conditions.
