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

A new filter for infrared light could see scanning and screening technology tumble in price and size. Built on nanotechnology ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

AFM height image showing cross sectioned multilayer film. AFM-IR spectra at 2800-3600 cm-1 (b) and 1200-1800 cm-1 (c); spectra collected from layers C, E, and G are consistent with a polyamide. The IR ...

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 ...
