In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image ...

A spectrometer that directly detects the vibrational “fingerprint” of molecules offers a sensitive new way of deducing a material’s chemical make-up. The device, which was developed by researchers in ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can’t see, has an even lower frequency than ...

Ultrabroadband IR frequency comb could be used for detection in portable spectrometers. The comb uses a double-chirped mirror. Researchers at MIT have demonstrated a compact, fully integrated ...

Modern technology uses many frequencies of electromagnetic radiation for communication, including radio waves, TV signals, microwaves and visible light. Now, a University of Utah study shows how ...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. In this approach, IR radiation passes through a sample, where some of it is absorbed by the sample ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have fabricated a device to increase or “up-convert” the frequency of short infrared light to the visible range. Up-conversion of light has ...

It's a familiar vision to anyone who has watched a lot of action movies or played Call of Duty: a ghostly green image that makes invisible objects visible. Since the development of the first ...
