Fiber optic SERS probes, called “optrodes,” combine spectroscopy with the flexibility and versatility of fiber optic cables.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a novel technique to detect and ...

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 ...

Researchers have investigated a practical method for estimating the state of charge of lithium iron phosphate batteries using ...

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 ...

The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the ...

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 ...

Near-IR spectroscopy belongs to the group of vibrational spectroscopy techniques, along with mid-infrared spectroscopy (primarily FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The first near-IR spectrometers were ...
