Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has emerged as a transformative, non‐destructive analytical tool for evaluating the properties of wood, providing rapid assessments of chemical and physical ...

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 ...

The evidence indicates that non-invasive monitoring (near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS) of oxygen in brain tissue likely does not reduce death rates or short-term brain problems for very premature ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive method used to monitor changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygen levels in the body. This technique involves passing near-infrared light, ...

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 ...

Prepregs are reinforcement materials that have been pre-impregnated with either thermoplastic or thermoset resins. They are used in high-performance applications where mechanical properties and low ...

Researchers in Brazil’s Amazonas state are testing easy-to-use scanners that can help them identify animal species they come across in the wild, Mongabay contributor Miguel Monteiro reported in June.

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

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 ...

A noninvasive method for measuring blood glucose levels, developed at MIT, could save diabetes patients from having to prick ...
