The outstanding properties of 2D materials for critical applications in semiconductors, battery technology, photovoltaics, and numerous other areas render them a key emerging field of research.

Potassium channels are responsible for the selective permeation of K⁺ ions across cell membranes. K⁺ ions permeate in single file through the selectivity filter, a narrow pore lined by backbone ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with Kansas State University, reported the development of slab waveguides made of the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. This ...

The molecular structure of a catalytically active key intermediate is determined in solution by employing 2D IR spectroscopy measuring vibrational cross-angles. The formate intermediate (2) in the ...

Raman spectroscopy has been highlighted as a vital tool for characterizing 2D materials-based van der Waal heterostructures. In this article, we explore its applications in analyzing graphene, TMDs ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

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.

Infrared spectroscopy (IRS) is a technique used to analyze individual substances in isolation or a mixture, using their spectral information. IRS is based on the measurement of the wavelength and ...

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, ...
