Inks and paints are everywhere in the world around us. As well as for writing and printing, these materials are also used for protection against the elements and aesthetic reasons. These substances ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive method used to monitor changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygen levels in the body. This technique involves passing near-infrared light, ...

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 ...

Patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes may be spotted earlier thanks to a diagnosis tool that uses near-infrared light to identify high-risk arterial plaques, according to research carried out ...

Virtually every scientific field has made strides by harnessing light to study the properties of substances. This technique, called spectroscopy, has countless research applications, and innovations ...

This paper explores the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy in regard to unknown material identification and reaction monitoring. While these techniques share ...

What is Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) Spectroscopy? Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that combines the principles of ...

NIR spectroscopy concerns the analysis of how NIR light and matter interact. In spectroscopic analysis, light is determined by the wavelength, not by the applied energy. The wavelength of light is ...

Researchers in Brazil’s Amazonas state are testing easy-to-use scanners that can help them identify animal species they come across in the wild, Mongabay contributor Miguel Monteiro reported in June.

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 ...
