Understanding how hunger and long-term dietary habits shape our craving for sweet taste is key to tackling overconsumption of sugar. A new study ...

Researchers have developed a compact, low-cost convolutional spectrometer that delivers lab-grade precision for applications ...

A giant world orbiting a distant sun-like star has given astronomers an unexpected glimpse into the weather systems of some ...

JWST buckyballs have revealed an entirely new set of near-infrared spectral signatures in planetary nebula Tc 1 that Spitzer ...

In an achievement unprecedented even among modern advances in space science, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has chemically characterized an object that didn’t originate in the solar system.

When researchers want to uncover what atoms make up a material, they turn to a number of tried-and-true spectroscopy methods. Spectroscopy works by shining a specific type of light onto a substance ...

Raman spectroscopy is a molecular spectroscopy, which is observed as inelastically scattered light and enables the interrogation and identification of vibrational (phonon) states of molecules.

When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region ...

Bio-monitoring refers to tracking changes in biological molecules or reactions over time. When using miniaturized flow systems, the ability to monitor concentrations within microchannels is essential ...
