A German research team has developed a nondestructive, on-site method to quantify water ingress in photovoltaic modules using ...

Acoustic MXene plasmons detect weak molecular fingerprints in nanometer-thick films while extending infrared sensing into the short-wave infrared.

Researchers have developed a low-cost method for the analysis of interfacial molecules by combining ATR-IR with precise gap-control and multi-variate data analysis. A novel spectroscopic method ...

What is Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) Spectroscopy? Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that combines the principles of ...

A research group has discovered that near-infrared absorbing dyes, which had previously been considered to have closed-shell electronic structures, have an intermediate electronic structure, between ...

If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...

Atomic force microscopy has long relied on the ability to acquire nanoscale chemical information while simultaneously characterizing nanomechanical properties. This article explores a new means of ...

Dealing with this volume of plastic garbage is already a tremendous challenge, but the discovery of microplastics in isolated ...

The sensor system is based on a spectrometer and a mid-IR transmitting fibre. When the exposed central part of the fibre (the U-shape) touches a skin lesion, the system measures its characteristic mid ...
