Ocean Optics reports on how spectroscopy revolutionizes research by utilizing light to analyze materials, improving accuracy ...

Graphene is a single-atom-thick carbon sheet discovered in 2004. The crucial question during graphene synthesis is, "How do I know that the material I'm making is actually single-atom thick?" Because ...

An established tool for the authentication and conservation of fine art paintings, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) typically requires the removal of small sample sections for analysis.

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 ...

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 ...

An initial step of most NMR studies is identifying peaks in the obtained spectrum. Producing a peak list is especially crucial if the spectrum is automatically prepared. Peak picking is still ...
