Appliance designers and manufacturers commonly rely on plastic parts as essential components. To ensure these parts meet high-quality standards, it’s important to take both functionality and the ...

Raman, NIR, and UV-VIS spectroscopy are the three main methods used in this field. All three fall within the broader categories of vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, but they differ ...

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 ...

Mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopy has demonstrated a wide-ranging ability to capture molecular “fingerprints” through absorption, emission, or reflection of infrared light, a feature that has become ...

Acute rejection remains a major cause of morbidity and graft loss after kidney transplantation, despite advances in immunosuppressive therapy. Conventional monitoring methods, such as serum creatinine ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a brain imaging technique used to estimate neuronal activity by measuring blood oxygenation. In this paper, we develop and evaluate an extensive set of ...

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 ...

Understanding biomolecular function at the atomic scale requires detailed insight into the structural changes underlying dynamic processes. Vibrational infrared (IR) spectroscopy─when paired with ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy have emerged as complementary techniques that enable the precise characterisation of materials at the nanoscale. AFM provides ...

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 ...
