Sunlight contains an electromagnetic spectrum (special waves such as the kind in x-rays that travel through emptiness or a vacuum) of light that stretches from very short gamma rays to very long radio ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

At the dawn of the universe, there was only hydrogen and helium. These elements made up all the galaxies and all the stars. But stars fuse hydrogen and helium into heavier elements, and large stars ...

Awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, quantum dots have a wide variety of applications ranging from displays and LED lights to chemical reaction catalysis and bioimaging. These semiconductor ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...

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 study was conducted under the project New approaches to deciphering the structure and chemical properties of graphene oxide, supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. Graphene ...

Life is colorful in the Kolemen lab at Koç University. The group is investigating a wide range of small molecules as fluorescent probes for biological imaging and as photosensitizers for light-driven ...
