To investigate how melanin affects the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements, researchers correlated the melanin levels of 35 adults with a diverse range of skin tones, measured ...

Optical monitoring of cerebral blood flow is a potentially life-saving technology in clinical emergencies, and a number of spectroscopic techniques have been applied to the task. Near-IR spectroscopy ...

A near-IR module intended to assist with personal health monitoring is said to be the world's first consumer spectroscopy module for smartphones. Unveiled at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit 2023 and ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

NIR spectroscopy concerns the analysis of how NIR light and matter interact. In spectroscopic analysis, light is determined by the wavelength, not by the applied energy. The wavelength of light is ...

Integrating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS or NIR spectroscopy) in an analysis workflow should pave the way toward realizing a fast, accurate, and non-destructive method for routine analysis. But ...

Substantial miniaturization of infrared (IR) sensors is necessary for their incorporation into next-generation portable electronics, wearable devices, and small satellites. However, modern infrared ...
