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 ...

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 ...

Mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopy has the advantage of being fast and nondestructive for mineral identification and geological analysis. Mineral anomalies in fault zones are geological markers for fault ...

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 ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibit rich spectral diversity in their near-infrared (nIR) fluorescence, offering strong potential for multiplexed optical sensing via diverse signal features ...
