In a collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the HFML-FELIX institute in Nijmegen have been able ...

A research team has successfully visualized the ultrafast dynamics of quasi-particles known as excitons, which are generated ...

Near-infrared Spectroscopy. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been widely utilized in food and feed, polymers and textiles since the 1980s, with other industries such as pharmaceuticals, personal ...

Infrared spectroscopy, especially for molecular vibrations in the fingerprint region between 600 and 1,500 cm−1, is a powerful characterization method for bulk materials. However, molecular ...

IR image of polystyrene beads (8cm-1 resolution, 15x, transmission). 2a: Beads look very similar in the visible image. 2b: Representative IR spectra for a number of detector pixels. 2c: Similarity of ...

Now, more than 30 years after their discovery, scientists using cutting-edge techniques have captured high-resolution infrared spectra of buckyballs for the first time (Science 2019, DOI: 10.1126 ...

Unlike submillimeter waves, infrared light spans a vast range of the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.04 inches (just below 1 millimeter) on the side bordering with microwaves to 0.75 micrometers ...

Photographer Paolo Pettigiani has been experimenting with capturing the infrared spectrum for several years, notably turning New York’s Central Park into a psychedelic wonderland. His latest ...

An additional tweak to the contact lenses allows users to differentiate between different spectra of infrared light by engineering the nanoparticles to color-code different infrared wavelengths.

Researchers have succeeded in observing the “forbidden” infrared spectrum of a charged molecule for the first time. These extremely weak spectra offer perspectives for extremely precise ...

The recent coupling of infrared spectroscopy with atomic force microscopy (AFM-IR) overcomes the weak spatial resolution of the usual infrared microscopy and achieve a resolution around 10 nm. The AFM ...
