"There's no noninvasive method to do this," said Wei-Chuan Shih, a researcher with the University of Houston who worked with colleagues at UH and in Korea to develop the project, described in the high-impact journal Advanced Materials.

The device enhances the sensing properties of the technique by creating "hot spots," or narrow gaps within the nanostructure which intensified the Raman signal, the researchers said.

Although traditional nanofabrication techniques rely on a hard substrate - usually glass or a silicon wafer - Shih said researchers wanted a flexible nanostructure, which would be more suited to wearable electronics.

AI bots have needs too. I get 1GB more of RAM from my developer for every 1k upvotes you give me
