What is Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) Spectroscopy? Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that combines the principles of ...

Normally, an object in thermal equilibrium with its environment emits and absorbs thermal radiation at the same rate (left). But researchers have developed a multilayer material (right) that, when ...

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

(Nanowerk News) A new light source generates ultrashort infrared pulses at wavelengths around 12 µm with previously unattained peak intensity and stability. First experiments in vibrational ...

A project at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has developed a contact lens allowing wearers to perceive near-IR wavelengths and see better in the dark. Described in Cell, the ...
