Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

New measurements in germanium reveal how excited electrons drive lattice vibrations that govern energy flow and heating in semiconductors.

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at ...

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 ...

Plasmonic nanogap confinement extends sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy to the nanoscale, enabling direct imaging of ...

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 ...

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.

NASA’s EMIT sensor uses imaging spectroscopy and spectral libraries to support large-scale tracking of plastic and other marine debris from space.
