AZoMaterials speaks with Bruker about the analytical challenges shaping microplastics research, a rapidly evolving field where reliable, particle-level data is critical. Moving beyond simple polymer ...

Up until now, exoplanet surveys have mostly focused on nearby, bright stars that are sun-like or are red dwarfs, which are known to frequently host planets. While astronomers have discovered thousands ...

Scientists have used a laser technique to analyze Charles Darwin’s original Galápagos specimens without opening their nearly ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a method for evaluating both the attenuation coefficient spectrum and the intrinsic emission spectrum of fluorescent fibers. The method is based on scanning the ...

Atomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...

A gap-controlled infrared technique makes it possible to study molecular interfaces with high sensitivity using affordable, widely available lab equipment. These molecular interfaces are everywhere—on ...

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 ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, known as NIR spectroscopy or NIRS, is a long-established analytical technique. For over 30 years, it has proven to be a fast and reliable method for measuring chemical and ...

Here, the Department of Chemistry and the Center for Biophotonic Technology and Artificial Intelligence (CeBAI), investigates Raman spectroscopy for forensic applications, a universal technique for ...

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 ...

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Traditional methods for ...
