Time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy encompasses a suite of methods that probe structural and electronic dynamics in materials on timescales ranging from femtoseconds to seconds. At synchrotron ...

Take a nice, deep breath. Now imagine your lungs: Myriad airways like branches, each with tiny alveoli-like leaves. This alveolar structure is key to the absorption of oxygen and excretion of carbon ...

Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy harnesses plasmonic nanostructures to amplify molecular vibrational signatures in the mid-infrared region. By exploiting resonant excitation ...

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...

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 ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis technology that has been well developed for trace element analyses in gases, liquids, and solids. It uses a high-power laser ...

A research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new sensing platform that significantly enhances ...

Bio-monitoring refers to tracking changes in biological molecules or reactions over time. When using miniaturized flow systems, the ability to monitor concentrations within microchannels is essential ...

Raman spectroscopy distinguishes normal brain tissue from dysplastic tissue in single-cell analysis. When incorporated with a fiber optics system, this technique could provide real-time guidance for ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...
