Akershus University Hospital is the first hospital in Norway to use infrared spectroscopy for kidney stone analysis. Urinary calculi can be divided into groups by the main component (Table 1). Table 1 ...

For most of human history we have only known (but not fully understood) a very small portion of the spectrum – namely visible light and “heat” in the form of infrared light. But, since the ...

In a collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the HFML-FELIX institute in Nijmegen have been able ...

A new filter for infrared light could see scanning and screening technology tumble in price and size. Built on nanotechnology ...

However, a team of scientists at China’s Fudan University has recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace the ...

Now, mass spectrometry is used to capture these ions in a vacuum and to analyse their structure using cryogenic infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with computational calculations. We developed ...

Although Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes, Israel has long seen it as a threat.

An additional tweak to the contact lenses allows users to differentiate between different spectra of infrared light by engineering the nanoparticles to color-code different infrared wavelengths.

When a beam of infrared light strikes their ultra-thin lens—barely thicker than a red blood cell—it emerges on the other side ...

The material may be used as a stealth material that is effective against both infrared and microwave detection and could prove suitable for high-speed aircraft and missiles. Modern battlefield ...

In recent years, the world of optics has undergone a major shift. New research shows how light can be bent, focused, and even ...
