Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...

Optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy is an infrared super-resolution measurement technique where a shorter ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

Sunlight contains an electromagnetic spectrum (special waves such as the kind in x-rays that travel through emptiness or a vacuum) of light that stretches from very short gamma rays to very long radio ...

A promising microspectroscopy technique has just become far more promising thanks to an improvement that increases the technique’s sensitivity and spatial resolution. The advance, which combines ...

Awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, quantum dots have a wide variety of applications ranging from displays and LED lights to chemical reaction catalysis and bioimaging. These semiconductor ...

The study was conducted under the project New approaches to deciphering the structure and chemical properties of graphene oxide, supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. Graphene ...

As core components for generating coherent tunable radiation sources in all-solid-state lasers, second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals have demonstrated significant technical advantages in many ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...
