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 ...

In a collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the HFML-FELIX institute in Nijmegen have been able to provide detailed insights in the molecular structure of a ...

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 ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain activity optically based on changes in cortical blood flow.

Zeiss SPARC continuously determines the calorific value, moisture content and chlorine content of RDF (refuse-derived fuel) ...

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have developed a novel approach to infrared spectroscopy that enables simultaneous characterization of molecular structure and size. Called Infrared ...

A promising microspectroscopy technique has just become far more promising thanks to an improvement that increases the technique’s sensitivity and spatial resolution. The advance, which combines ...

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 ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

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 ...
