When molecules are placed at the interface to metals or metal oxides, an increase in their infrared (IR) spectral intensities is observed, a phenomenon termed surface ...

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 ...

Bimetallic gold-silver nanoclusters M44 and M81 achieve record near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiencies of up to 91 ...

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 ...

A research group has discovered that near-infrared absorbing dyes, which had previously been considered to have closed-shell electronic structures, have an intermediate electronic structure, between ...

To accelerate biotechnology innovations, such as the development of lifesaving drug therapies, scientists strive to develop faster, more quantitative and more widely available ways to observe ...

Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...

Researchers have long sought to develop multifunctional stealth materials capable of evading detection across different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, achieving compatible stealth ...

Even materials that look pitch black to the eye often reflect near-infrared light well. As devices using near-infrared light, ...

Interstellar water ice map charts frozen water across 618,000 stellar sightlines in the Milky Way for the first time, using decade-old NASA WISE and 2MASS archival photometry rather than costly ...
