In a collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the HFML-FELIX institute in Nijmegen have been able ...

A new filter for infrared light could see scanning and screening technology tumble in price and size. Built on nanotechnology ...

Now, mass spectrometry is used to capture these ions in a vacuum and to analyse their structure using cryogenic infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with computational calculations. News & Views ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light.

In 2024, General Stephen Whiting, the commander of U.S. Space Command opposed the sale of both the 3.1 to 3.45 GHz and the 7.0 to 8.0 GHz parts of the electromagnetic spectrum when he testified ...

A scaffolded infrared (IR) assignment was designed to support novice learners in developing the ability to analyze spectra. Beginning with pentane (containing no functional groups), students are ...

Learn about the electromagnetic spectrum, the order of the waves, their uses and dangers with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

When we first tested this Aspen Green cooling cream in 2022, our editor Christy Snyder was battling newly diagnosed sciatica pain. She was immediately impressed. She found that heat, ice, and ...

We investigate the sensitivity of femtosecond Fourier transform two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to protein secondary structure with a study of antiparallel β-sheets. The results show that 2D IR ...

The human eye lacks photoreceptors responsive to the infrared spectrum, and infrared light with a longer wavelength and lower energy cannot trigger visual signals. In patients with severe eye diseases ...

The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum include microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma-rays. Source: Ed S. Johavac/Flickr.
