Infrared spectroscopy is a damage-free method for characterizing biological tissues or cells. With the use of an infrared scattering-type near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM), even the smallest ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of relying on radiation or chemicals, scientists now use finely tuned molecules ...

IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

Vibrational spectroscopy encompasses a suite of techniques that probe the characteristic vibrational motions of molecules, revealing intimate details of bond strengths, structural motifs and ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a highly sensitive detector for identifying molecules via their infrared vibrational “fingerprint”. Published in Nature Communications ("On-chip ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

New research has revealed that water behaves differently when confined to spaces just one molecule thick. For the first time, ...

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 of ...

The cell is grown on a Si-C-Membrane and embedded in its liquid medium. The tip of the s-SNOM detects vibrations, probed by Infrared-Light from BESSY II. Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II ...
