Dealing with this volume of plastic garbage is already a tremendous challenge, but the discovery of microplastics in isolated ...

Researchers have shown how spectroscopic measurements can be made much faster. By correlating polarization to the color of a pulsed laser, the team can track changes in the spectrum of the light by ...

A German research group has used spectroscopic methods based on terahertz or microwave radiation and has discovered that they might help with more precise assessments of the characteristics and ...

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Traditional methods for ...

A gap-controlled infrared technique makes it possible to study molecular interfaces with high sensitivity using affordable, widely available lab equipment. These molecular interfaces are everywhere—on ...

Why 3,000 bars are needed to take a comprehensive look at a protein: Researchers present a new high-pressure spectroscopy method to unravel the properties of proteins' native structures. A pressure of ...

In traditional medical diagnostics, the procedure involves taking a patient biopsy sample and then meticulous analysis, which commonly utilizes microscopy methods within a laboratory setting. While ...
