Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) excited Raman & photoluminescence spectroscopy is an emerging analytical technology with very high potential for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and research applications. One of the main limitations of conventional Raman spectroscopy using Ultraviolet (UV), visible, or near IR wavelengths is the obscuration of the Raman signals due to background fluorescence […]

Physical activity and exercise are great ways to keep your body healthy, reduce your risk of disease and improve mood.  Physical activity refers to any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires your body to burn calories (expend energy)[1] such as shopping, gardening and doing housework.  Exercise is planned, structured, repetitive and intentional movement[2] such

Food production is a resource intensive process. Conventional agriculture requires large land areas and significant volumes of water; two resources that are already at risk. Exploiting land leads to soil degradation and water pollution, while an increase in overfishing has put several species at risk. It is estimated that one third of global food produced
