Appliance designers and manufacturers commonly rely on plastic parts as essential components. To ensure these parts meet high-quality standards, it’s important to take both functionality and the ...

Fitness and wellness businesses are using infrared light as a new tool for weight loss and health benefits. Infrared light is an invisible part of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human body ...

After decades of intense research, surprises in the realm of semiconductors—materials used in microchips to control electrical currents—are few and far between. But with a pair of published papers, ...

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 ...

Last month, sneakerheads got their first look at the highly anticipated Air Jordan 6 'Infrared Salesman' colorway. Michael Jordan's sixth signature basketball shoe in Chicago Bulls colors, with sample ...

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 ...

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 ...

Successful interpretation of infrared spectra isn’t about memorizing peak positions, it’s about pattern recognition! Join Brian Smith of Big Sur Scientific as he discusses the fundamentals of infrared ...

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 ...

A study participant puts in a contact lens. Researchers developed lenses with nanoparticles that convert infrared wavelengths into visible light that humans can perceive. Yuqian Ma, Yunuo Chen, Hang ...
