Shale, a sedimentary rock that is a rich source of petroleum, consists of solid organic matter scattered in a mineral framework. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that neighboring organic matter ...

Infrared spectroscopy products are used to analyze the interaction of molecules with infrared light and are used in the analysis of nanoscale semiconductors, protein characterization, and space ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopies can observe different types of molecular vibrations. Using both methods on a compound provides a more complete molecular picture than either alone. But the two ...

In photosynthesis and organic photovoltaics, pigment molecules convert light into electrical charge. A team of chemists have now produced an unusual organic pigment, which is “switched on” by an ...

The default setup is an ATR (with a diamond window) that involves an IR beam interacting only with the surface of the material, but we can swap in a transmission module if needed. We have four IRs and ...

Part of Chemistry (Single Science) Crude oil, fuels and organic chemistry There are some disadvantages to growing biofuel crops (such as sugar cane and maize) to be used as bioethanol. The demand for ...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provides a rapid and cost-effective method for food-allergen detection. Over 15 million people in the US have a food allergy. Even trace amounts of a substance can ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials Interfaces presented a method to more accurately determine the surface chemistry of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes. The authors used energy-dependent X-ray photoelectron ...
