From laundry detergents and self-cleaning ovens to the manufacturing of fuels, plastics and medications, catalysts play a ...

A new study has concluded that Earth's mini-moons may not have come from the asteroid belt as we once thought, but a source far closer to home. According to the team, Earth likely has around 6.5 ...

An international team of astrophysicists, led by Northwestern University and the University of Leicester in England, has ...

Research conducted at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) investigated the relationship between chemical composition and ...

Microplastics larger than 20 µm appear to be routinely present in commercially available eye drops, according to research published in Cornea. The investigation employed the use of micro-Fourier ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the normally equal balance between thermal absorption and emission, enabling ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light.

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light.

For example, flickering infrared light could be used to transmit information in security, rescue, encryption or anti-counterfeiting settings.” The lenses use specially engineered nanoparticles that ...

The application of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques to spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for the rapid and accurate classification of experimental samples. However, despite the ...

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a widely used analytical technique for identifying chemical compounds and examining molecular structures. It measures how a sample absorbs ...
