When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, known as NIR spectroscopy or NIRS, is a long-established analytical technique. For over 30 years, it has proven to be a fast and reliable method for measuring chemical and ...

Microsoft is betting big on AI. Starting with integrating Bing with ChatGPT, it has implemented AI capabilities in its products. Microsoft Designer is a new product from Microsoft with AI capabilities ...

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 ...

Random fluctuations in the intensity and energy of X-ray lasers, which generally limit performance, have been harnessed for high-resolution spectroscopy. Li and colleagues use an XFEL to produce a ...

Imagine this: you’re in the middle of an important project, juggling deadlines, and collaborating with a team scattered across time zones. Suddenly, your computer crashes, and hours of work vanish in ...

Intelligent manufacturing systems that enable real-time product releases will become commonplace in the not-too-distant future, thanks to advances in process monitoring and analytical techniques, ...

The Trump administration is planning to close a small, obscure laboratory whose work undergirds everything from microchip manufacturing to nuclear fusion. The Atomic Spectroscopy Group at the National ...

A project at China's Zhejiang Normal University (ZJNU) has applied laser spectroscopy to bomb-peak dating, potentially assisting a number of carbon-dating and forensic applications. Bomb-peak dating ...

When an ecological disaster releases toxins into the environment, extensive sampling and analysis is vital to ensure the health and safety of the people affected. Surface-enhanced vibrational ...
