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 ...

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 ...

Fine particulate matter in the air or nanoparticles in water—a remarkable new technology developed at TU Wien makes it ...

The Fotga Adjustable Infrared Filter can cut more or less visible light so you can dial in the exact IR effect you want – but is it any good?

Technically skilled Chinese civilians are sharing open-source military analysis online, targeting US power in Iran’s war.

When atoms and electrons are confined to an atomically flat plane, 2D materials take on distinct properties, such as exceptional strength and conductivity, not seen in their 3D counterparts. These ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
