When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region of ...

Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in the ...

Across the country, families are turning their homes into wellness spaces, and saunas are quickly becoming one of the most popular additions. Once found mostly in spas and athletic facilities, ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

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 ...

Phases of ice that exist naturally only on frozen moons could be detected using infrared spectroscopy, according to new laboratory experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

It’s no accident that “rest” has replaced “grind” as the prized metric in longevity circles. A culture that once glorified burnout is now crowding late-afternoon infrared sessions in search of ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports presents a method for identifying liver tumor subtypes during surgery using fiber-optic attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy combined with ...

PiFM and PiF-IR are the next generation of infrared spectroscopy techniques. PiFM brought a major shift to atomic force microscopy by adding chemical mapping capabilities. PiF-IR, its sister technique ...
