Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

The study of vibrational spectroscopy, coupled with detailed potential energy surface (PES) modelling, has transformed our understanding of molecular dynamics and interaction mechanisms. By probing ...

A nanoscale spectroscopy technique reveals the orientation of surface-bound molecules with sub-nanometer precision by confining light in a near-field region between a scanning probe and substrate.

Infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a versatile tool for probing protein structures and dynamics by detecting the vibrational modes of chemical bonds. Its non-invasive nature and high sensitivity ...

Infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive tool to identify unknown samples and known chemical substances. It is based on how different molecules interact with infrared light. You may have seen this tool ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that vibrating molecules can launch electrons across solar cell materials in as little as 18 femtoseconds, a finding that could reshape how ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive detector for identifying molecules via their infrared vibrational “fingerprint”. Published in Nature Communications, this innovative detector converts ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...

IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of relying on radiation or chemicals, scientists now use finely tuned molecules ...
