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

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method for making simultaneous soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements of ...

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 ...

The process that can convert pollution into benign by-products is called selective catalytic reduction, or SCR. Until now, it has been unclear how this reaction actually occurs, and contradictions ...

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 ...

More than 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy, with approximately half of them being children. For about one-third of these patients, medications do not control their seizures, leaving ...

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 ...

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 ...
