New Spectroscopic Techniques Offer Breakthrough in Analyzing Ancient Chinese Wall Paintings
October 29th 2024This new study examines how spectroscopic techniques, such as attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, were used to analyze the pigments in ancient Chinese wall paintings.
Breaking Spectral Boundaries: New Ultrafast Spectrometer Expands Detection Range for NIR Studies
October 29th 2024A team from Auburn University has developed an innovative ultrabroadband near-infrared (NIR) transient absorption (TA) spectrometer capable of detecting across a wide spectral range of 900–2350 nm in a single experiment. This advancement improves the study of ultrafast processes in low-bandgap materials and opens doors to new insights in photochemistry and charge dynamics.
FT-NIR and Raman Spectroscopic Methods Enhance Food Quality Control
October 28th 2024A recent study showcases the potential of Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy and spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) in detecting raw material defects in hazelnuts caused by improper storage conditions. FT-NIR spectroscopy proved especially effective, while SORS offered complementary insights in certain scenarios. These spectroscopic methods could modernize the speed and accuracy of hazelnut inspections in the food industry.
