Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

Abstract: Mid-infrared spectroscopy in the 2-4 μm wavelength range is of cardinal value for many sensing applications. Current solutions involve bulky and expensive systems to operate.

Scientists around the world have been searching food, water, and other environmental media for microplastics and for per- and ...

JWST buckyballs have revealed an entirely new set of near-infrared spectral signatures in planetary nebula Tc 1 that Spitzer ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected metallic iron dust and silicon carbide grains streaming from dying stars inside ...

A mass of writhing maggots on a decomposing murder victim is not a sight for the squeamish, but for some, it is evidence. A maggot’s age and species can give essential information to forensic ...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a promising tool for optimizing seed analyses quickly and assertively. The aim of this study was to investigate the viability of NIR in association with chemometric ...

Launched in March, NASA's SPHEREx space telescope has completed its first infrared map of the entire sky in 102 colors. While not visible to the human eye, these 102 infrared wavelengths of light are ...

Tea polyphenols are of great interest owing to their beneficial medicinal properties ( Al-Hatim et al., 2022). Increasing evidence shows that polyphenols substances found in tea can enhance general ...

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, ...

Physicists have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to-achieve wavelength range, packing the performance of larger photonic devices ...

Researchers have exclusively observed molecules participating in hydrogen bonds in liquid water, measuring electronic and nuclear quantum effects that were previously accessible only via theoretical ...
