WE have observed the infrared spectrum of a fragment of a transfer RNA (tRNA) in aqueous solution and obtained evidence for the existence of the hydrogen-bonded base pairs.

Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...

The outstanding properties of 2D materials for critical applications in semiconductors, battery technology, photovoltaics, and numerous other areas render them a key emerging field of research.

FTIR deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and it works by measuring how much light is absorbed by the bonds of vibrating molecules to provide a molecular fingerprint. The ...

It has become harder and harder to assess the real value of a gemstone since the emergence of synthetic diamonds, treated diamonds and nearly perfect imitates. Infrared spectroscopy is an elegant way ...

Submicron and nanoscale chemical identification of semiconductor materials, particularly organic ones, poses a considerable challenge in the analysis of devices and also in the process control and ...

Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...
