Artificial intelligence (AI) has learned to work with language by breaking continuous information into discrete tokens and ...

Absorption spectroscopy is an analytical chemistry tool that can determine if a particular substance is present in a sample by measuring the intensity of the light absorbed as a function of wavelength ...

In a previous article, I introduced the addition of an IR spectrum prediction feature to "Chemliora," a tool for drawing chemical structural formulas in a browser.Predict IR spectra from drawn ...

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report that gold ...

Sketch of an SX-STM setup. The setup involves using an STM tip to measure a tunneling current (red beam) induced by the illumination of a sample with x rays (blue beam). Sketch of an SX-STM setup. The ...

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, ...
