In recent weeks, several groundbreaking studies have been published, showcasing significant advancements in various scientific fields. Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platform that can identify tiny structural differences in oligosaccharides without fluorescent labels. This breakthrough enables the analysis of complex biomolecules with high sensitivity and structural resolution.

Meanwhile, a study on striped mice has revealed that these animals can survive harsh droughts by slowing down and not getting stressed. This finding challenges the conventional wisdom that animals experience harsh environments as stressful.
