Versatile multigas analysis bears high potential for environmental sensing of climate relevant gases and noninvasive early stage diagnosis disease states in human breath. In this contribution, a fiber-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (FERS) suite atmospheric is presented, which allowed reliable quantification CH4, CO2, N2O alongside N2 O2 with just one single measurement. A highly improved analytical sensitivity was achieved, down to sub-parts per million limit detection dynamic range 6 orders...
Breath gas analysis is a novel powerful technique for noninvasive, early-stage diagnosis of metabolic disorders or diseases. Molecular hydrogen and methane are biomarkers colonic fermentation, because malabsorption oligosaccharides (e.g., lactose fructose) small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Recently, the presence these gases in exhaled breath was also correlated with obesity. Here, we report on highly selective sensitive detection molecular within complex mixture (consisting H2, CH4, N2,...
Karstic caves represent one of the most important subterranean carbon storages on Earth and provide windows into subsurface. The recent discovery Herrenberg Cave, Germany, gave us opportunity to investigate diversity potential role bacteria in carbonate mineral formation. Calcite was only observed by Raman spectroscopy precipitate as stalactites from seepage water. Bacterial cells were found surface interior confocal laser scanning microscopy. Proteobacteria dominated microbial communities...
Broadband fiber enhanced Raman spectroscopy (FERS) in aqueous media is introduced elaborated hollow-core photonic crystal fibers.

Abstract Alloyed lead‐free double perovskites display intense photoluminescence, are environmentally friendly, and their devices show long‐term operation. Thanks to these properties, which make them excellent warm white‐emitting materials, they have recently received great attention in lighting applications. An important factor tune the optical properties of alloyed is presence self‐trapped excitons. Here, it demonstrated that perovskites, strong electron–phonon coupling plays a crucial role...
Malaria is a severe disease caused by cytozoic parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which infiltrate and infect red blood cells. Several drugs have been developed to combat devastating effects malaria. Antimalarials based on quinolines inhibit crystallization hematin into hemozoin within parasite, ultimately leading its demise. Despite frequent use these agents, there are unanswered questions about their mechanisms action. In present study, quinoline chloroquine interaction with target...
