Water and the bad smelling molecule hydrogen sulfide do not seem to have a lot in common at first sight. However, when investing a little energy, some differences disappear. The experimental research ...

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 ...

A preliminary study of 10 transparent paper samples could help inform evidence-led conservation strategies for fragile ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

When researchers want to uncover what atoms make up a material, they turn to a number of tried-and-true spectroscopy methods. Spectroscopy works by shining a specific type of light onto a substance ...
