A recent study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to study biochemical changes associated with child obesity.
Spectroscopy and the Search for Ancient Life on Mars, Continued
September 1st 2005A report published earlier this year (1) discussed a UV–vis-NIR instrument designed for use on NASA Mars rover missions. This article follows up with coverage of the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter mission.
Characterization of Archaeological Findings by FT-IR Spectroscopy
April 1st 2005The authors describe their work characterizing archaelogical ceramics by means of Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption. Semiquantitative analyses using the technique can identify the main components and trace elements constituting the ceramics. An accurate knowledge of the chemical composition of the samples gives useful information for their classification.
