Using sophisticated measurement methods based on near-field optical microscopy, an interdisciplinary research team at the Institute for Molecular Science led by Jun Nishida (Assistant Prof.) and ...

(Nanowerk News) Infrared vibrational spectrum of a single protein is observed using advanced measurement techniques based on near-field optical microscopy. This method utilizes light confined at the ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

The cell is grown on a Si-C-Membrane and embedded in its liquid medium. The tip of the s-SNOM detects vibrations, probed by Infrared-Light from BESSY II. Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II ...

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

You may not be able to hear it, but all solid materials make a sound. In fact, atoms—bound in lattices of chemical bonds—are ...
