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 ...

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 ...

Iridium oxide catalysts are effective for water oxidation making them ... X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy." To achieve efficient reaction, binding of ...

It can also measure the spectra of samples in water, which is impractical with conventional absorption spectrometry because water itself is such a strong absorber of infrared light. The new method is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
