Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy merges infrared (IR) spectroscopy with visualization. As IR spectroscopy offers high specificity for molecular structure and chemical composition, ...

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 ...

Shampoos are haircare products used for cleaning as well as for refining the feel and look of hair. They are complex multi-constituent mixtures composed of preservatives, detergents, and active ...

Submicron and nanoscale chemical identification of semiconductor materials, particularly organic ones, poses a considerable challenge in the analysis of devices and also in the process control and ...

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 ...
