What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

What is UV-Vis Spectroscopy? UV-Vis spectroscopy, short for ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, is an analytical technique that measures the absorption or reflectance of light by a sample in the ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

Ocean Optics reports on how spectroscopy revolutionizes research by utilizing light to analyze materials, improving accuracy ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

What is Atomic Absorption Spectrometry? AAS is a technique for determining how much of a specific element is present in the specimen under study. The uptake of optical radiation by neutral atoms in ...

Herein, the O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) profile of an aqueous acetonitrile solution presented a distinct sharp peak not commonly observed in the corresponding profile of liquid water.

Charge-carrier traps play a central role in the excited-state dynamics of semiconductor nanocrystals, but their influence is often difficult to measure directly. In CdS and CdSe nanorods of nonuniform ...
