If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...

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 ...

Phases of ice that exist naturally only on frozen moons could be detected using infrared spectroscopy, according to new laboratory experiments.

Since its detection in 2014, the brown dwarf known as WISE 0855 has fascinated astronomers. Only 7.2 light-years from Earth, it is the coldest known object outside of our solar system and is just ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, or AFM-IR, is an analytical method used for chemical identification in a materials sample at the nanoscale. AFM-IR incorporates both the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...

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, ...

Adhesives are typically grouped into five distinct categories — wet, contact, reactive, hot-melt, and pressure-sensitive. Cyanoacrylate adhesives, also referred to as 'superglues,' are ...
