Spectroscopy isn’t just for scientists in lab coats—it’s a toolkit anyone can learn to use for uncovering the hidden architecture of molecules. By combining NMR, IR, and other techniques, chemists can ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a precise analytical method that detects molecular vibrations, creating unique spectra for identifying functional groups and structures. It’s used in fields from ...

When atoms and electrons are confined to an atomically flat plane, 2D materials take on distinct properties, such as exceptional strength and conductivity, not seen in their 3D counterparts. These ...

Infrared spectroscopy under strong magnetic fields is a powerful tool for probing quantum phenomena, but its potential has been constrained by a persistent technical bottleneck: the lack of in-situ ...

Appliance designers and manufacturers commonly rely on plastic parts as essential components. To ensure these parts meet high-quality standards, it’s important to take both functionality and the ...

President Donald Trump is getting dunked on social media after he apparently confused a basic legal principle for a person. While leading a roundtable discussion Wednesday at the White House on antifa ...

*If you learn how to use atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), you can do accurate and reliable chemical research. But it takes practice and concentration to fully grasp its basic ideas. Understanding ...

Using density functional perturbation theory, we computed the phonon frequencies and Raman and IR activities of hafnia polymorphs (P4(2)nmc, Pca2(1), Pmn2(1), Pbca OI, brookite, and baddeleyite) for ...
