Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in everyday life. The processes taking place inside these materials are the subject ...

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

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

A piece of research carried out by the EHU’s Spectroscopy Group and the Biofisika Institute (CSIC/EHU) and published in the ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

Innovative approach to THz measurement challenges To tackle this long-standing limitation, a research team led by Jianqiang Gu from Tianjin University, China, has designed and experimentally ...

Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is a highly sensitive, non-destructive method for probing atomic-scale imperfections in a broad spectrum of materials, from metals and ceramics to polymers and ...

A growing population and shifting climate patterns are directly impacting both agriculture and horticulture. As demand for food rises, unpredictable weather conditions can lead to total crop failures.

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.
