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 ...

Inks and paints are everywhere in the world around us. As well as for writing and printing, these materials are also used for protection against the elements and aesthetic reasons. These substances ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers tested whether monitoring passengers' brain activity could help self-driving systems make safer decisions ...

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 ...

Researchers have shown that near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy of leaves can reliably reveal a fruit’s ripeness without ...
