Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy have emerged as complementary techniques that enable the precise characterisation of materials at the nanoscale. AFM provides ...

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 ...

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

The outstanding properties of 2D materials for critical applications in semiconductors, battery technology, photovoltaics, and numerous other areas render them a key emerging field of research.

Infrared spectroscopy-based liquid biopsy detects even one lung cancer cell in blood, enabling earlier diagnosis, easier ...

Atomic force microscopy has long relied on the ability to acquire nanoscale chemical information while simultaneously characterizing nanomechanical properties. This article explores a new means of ...

A UK research team has developed a pioneering blood test that could change the way lung cancer is detected and monitored.

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, ...

If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...

Researchers have long sought to develop multifunctional stealth materials capable of evading detection across different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, achieving compatible stealth ...

The team of UK researchers has developed a pioneering blood test that could enable doctors to detect and monitor lung cancer ...
