Optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy is an infrared super-resolution measurement technique where a shorter ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

High-Pressure Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HPPES) advances catalysis research by enabling real-time surface analysis under ambient and high-pressure conditions.

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food quality, or analyzing pollution, depended on large, expensive laboratory ...

Multilayer films have long been used in food and drink packaging as they meet several specifications in terms of barrier ...
