IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

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 ...

Our understanding of the world relies greatly on our knowledge of its constituent materials and their interactions. Recent advances in materials science technologies have ratcheted up our ability to ...

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 spectroscopy is increasingly established as a way to carry out in vitro diagnostic testing, thanks to its ability to detect the molecular profiles of many biomarkers. What has been missing, ...

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 ...

Formulation scientists are behind the conversion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into stable, bioavailable, and commercially viable dosage forms, rarely a simple process. Image Credit: ...
