Dealing with this volume of plastic garbage is already a tremendous challenge, but the discovery of microplastics in isolated ...

Spectroscopy isn’t just for scientists in lab coats—it’s a toolkit anyone can learn to use for uncovering the hidden architecture of molecules. By combining NMR, IR, and other techniques, chemists can ...

To investigate how melanin affects the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements, researchers correlated the melanin levels of 35 adults with a diverse range of skin tones, measured ...

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 ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a precise analytical method that detects molecular vibrations, creating unique spectra for identifying functional groups and structures. It’s used in fields from ...

What is Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) Spectroscopy? Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that combines the principles 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 ...

Infrared spectroscopy under strong magnetic fields is a powerful tool for probing quantum phenomena, but its potential has been constrained by a persistent technical bottleneck: the lack of in-situ ...

This paper explores the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy in regard to unknown material identification and reaction monitoring. While these techniques share ...

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, ...
