However, the role of these species in the photocatalytic water-oxidation reaction was not established definitively. Recently, rapid-scan ATR-IR spectroscopy was used to identify surface ...

the scientists illuminated liquid water with femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) laser pulses in the near-infrared spectrum. These ultra-short bursts of light create tiny charge ...

model combined with ultraviolet-visible-shortwave near-infrared (UV–vis-SWNIR) spectroscopy for water quality sensing. Their study is published in Environmental Science & Technology and was ...

A simple tweak to the usual setup is all that is needed to enhance a spectroscopy technique that ... The footpads of geckos have hydrophilic (water-loving) mechanisms that allow the little animals ...

Researchers have discovered a phenomenon -- applying pressure to a copper-chromium Prussian blue analog, which is a compound featuring crystal voids, causes the discharge of water retained within ...

In another study published in Talanta, the authors devised a chemometric method to correct the spectra of materials in the KBr disk by eliminating the water interference. It is a common problem in IR ...

The search for water on other planetary bodies has taken agiant leap forward in recent months. In November, NASA announced that it hadfound substantial quantities of water on the Moon. Earlier ...

British astronomer William Herschel discovered infrared light in 1800, according to NASA. In an experiment to measure the difference in temperature between the colors in the visible spectrum ...
