Near-IR spectroscopy belongs to the group of vibrational spectroscopy techniques, along with mid-infrared spectroscopy (primarily FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The first near-IR spectrometers were ...

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 ...

Traditional oxygen-ion–conducting cells require high operating temperatures, creating cost, durability, and material compatibility challenges. Protonic ceramic cells (PCCs) offer an alternative, ...

Monitoring the proper blood supply to the brain is crucial, not only to prevent neurological diseases, but also to treat them. The parallel near-infrared interferometric spectroscopy technique, or ...

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 ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...

Each molecule has its own unmistakable tone – a vibrational “fingerprint” that reflects not only its chemical structure but also the nanoscale environment around it. But the voices of individual ...

This article introduces the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy for identifying unknown materials and monitoring reactions. While the techniques are pretty similar, ...

A gap-controlled infrared technique makes it possible to study molecular interfaces with high sensitivity using affordable, widely available lab equipment. These molecular interfaces are everywhere—on ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, or AFM-IR, is an analytical method used for chemical identification in a materials sample at the nanoscale. AFM-IR incorporates both the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...
