This property enables SFG spectroscopy to serve as a powerful molecular vibrational spectroscopic tool in the infrared wavelength region. A more notable feature of SFG spectroscopy is its surface ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of relying on radiation or chemicals, scientists now use finely tuned molecules ...

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.

Scientists observed charge separation in a solar cell dye, driven by nuclear vibrations, not solvent effects, reshaping views on light-induced transport. (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells or in ...

Chiral molecules, which have a helical structure, are known to interact with magnets in a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). For instance, when a chiral molecule is ...

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

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...

Using a thermal sensor smaller than a grain of sand, engineers have measured the vibrations, or phonons, within individual molecules. Imagine you are playing the guitar -- each pluck of a string ...
