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 ...

Have you heard the adage “dance like nobody’s watching”? The quote, often credited to the prominent author and educator Dr. William Watson Purkey, encourages us to let loose once in a while and not ...

(Nanowerk News) Cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage when survival rates are low. Most early-stage cancers are asympotmatic, and tranditional methods ...

Infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive tool to identify unknown samples and known chemical substances. It is based on how different molecules interact with infrared light. You may have seen this tool ...

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.

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

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...
