Exploration Program, and an assessment of critical unanswered questions.

NIR spectroscopy concerns the analysis of how NIR light and matter interact. In spectroscopic analysis, light is determined by the wavelength, not by the applied energy. The wavelength of light is ...

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an emerging technology in the field of microbiology. Recent studies have shown its utility for bacterial typing and the identification of outbreaks.

Cancer diagnoses traditionally require invasive or labor-intensive procedures such as tissue biopsies. Now, research published in ACS Central Science reveals a method that uses pulsed infrared light ...

A counterintuitive approach to atomic force microscopy-infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) means researchers can now ‘see’ the structure and chemical composition of human cells with unmatched precision.

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, ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

We investigated rearrangements of the hydrogen-bond network in water by measuring fluctuations in the OH-stretching frequency of HOD in liquid D 2 O with femtosecond infrared spectroscopy. Using ...

When neuroscientist and musician AZA Allsop discovered research by his Yale colleague Joy Hirsch about how group drumming and musical interaction can affect social behavior, he knew there was a ...
