The vibrational signal was obtained by subtracting the background under the peak at 138 meV in all the spectra, which were similar to the spectrum shown in Fig. 2b. The signal was then normalized by ...

Auger electron spectroscopy is a well-established surface-sensitive technique. It has been mostly used for the identification of species on sample surfaces, especially to monitor the process of sample ...

Plasmonic metal nanostructures offer an ideal platform for manipulation of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is caused by light interacting with ...

(Nanowerk News) Thanks to fluorescence, single nano-objects down to individual fluorophores can now be imaged in optical microscopes. Fluorescence imaging is still restricted to laboratory facilities ...

There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

Huge strides have been made over recent years concerning scanning electron microscopes (SEMs and EPMAs), especially when observing and chemically analyzing materials across various fields of interest, ...

Scientists from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics can image the optical properties of individual nanoparticles with a novel microscope.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating material discovery and design by automating analysis, guiding experiments, and enabling predictive modeling across spectroscopy, microscopy, and synthesis.

With Raman microscopy, there's an additional layer of complexity: fluorescence. Particle fluorescence can overwhelm the Raman signal and make routine analysis more challenging. In comparison, IR ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Funding is provided via the China Scholarship Council. Available to Chinese applicants only. Applicant required to start in September 2026. The studentship arrangement will cover overseas tuition fees ...
