Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has rapidly gained recognition as a groundbreaking biosensing technique, enabling the accurate, rapid, and non-invasive detection of diseases, pathogens, and environmental toxins. By significantly amplifying Raman signals through nanomaterials, SERS makes it possible to detect trace amounts of biological analytes, positioning it as a leading
