Plasmon-enhanced molecular spectroscopies have attracted tremendous attention as powerful detection tools with ultrahigh sensitivity down to the single-molecule level. The optical response of ...

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 ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

Imaging live cells without disrupting their natural behavior or damaging their structures is one key challenge in biomedical optics, and has been tackled in multiple ways. A project at NIST has now ...

Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...
