Investigating silicon surfaces, this article highlights the role of water layers in hybrid bonding and the effectiveness of ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...

Since its detection in 2014, the brown dwarf known as WISE 0855 has fascinated astronomers. Only 7.2 light-years from Earth, it is the coldest known object outside of our solar system. Astronomers ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

Submicron and nanoscale chemical identification of semiconductor materials, particularly organic ones, poses a considerable challenge in the analysis of devices and also in the process control and ...
