The study of vibrational spectroscopy, coupled with detailed potential energy surface (PES) modelling, has transformed our understanding of molecular dynamics and interaction mechanisms. By probing ...

A nanoscale spectroscopy technique reveals the orientation of surface-bound molecules with sub-nanometer precision by confining light in a near-field region between a scanning probe and substrate.

Infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive tool to identify unknown samples and known chemical substances. It is based on how different molecules interact with infrared light. You may have seen this tool ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a highly sensitive detector for identifying molecules via their infrared vibrational “fingerprint”. Published in Nature Communications ("On-chip ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

Our understanding of the building blocks of the universe guides scientific advancements. This means that we must find ways to peek deeper and deeper into atoms and molecules. The Raschke Nano-Optics ...
