TLDR
This forward-looking article describes a new opportunity in fluorescence, radiative decay engineering (RDE), and predicts that nearby metal surfaces can be used to increase the low intrinsic quantum yields of nucleic acids and make unlabeled DNA detectable using its intrinsic metal-enhanced fluorescence.

Probing Single Molecules and Single Nanoparticles by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

TL;DR: In this article, surface-enhanced Raman scattering was used to detect single molecules and single nanoparticles at room temperature with the use of surface enhanced Raman, and the intrinsic Raman enhancement factors were on the order of 10 14 to 10 15, much larger than the ensemble-averaged values derived from conventional measurements.

Raman spectra of pyridine adsorbed at a silver electrode

TL;DR: In this article, Ramaman spectroscopy has been employed for the first time to study the role of adsorption at electrodes, and it has been possible to distinguish two types of pyridine adaption at a silver electrode.
