Scientists demonstrate submicron detection of microbes and minerals in Mars-analogue basalt using O-PTIR spectroscopy

A recent study by researchers from the University of Belgrade highlights the transformative potential of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy for analyzing protein structures. This versatile method not only provides insights into secondary structures but also excels at tracking aggregation processes, offering advantages over traditional techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

A new model corrects errors in analyzing complex mixtures using ATR FT-IR, paving the way for more accurate chemical insights.

Scientists have developed a novel and creative mid-infrared (MIR) hyperspectral microscope using single-pixel imaging (SPI) technology and a quantum cascade laser (QCL). This innovation offers faster, more cost-effective chemical analysis compared to traditional methods, promising new frontiers in microscopic imaging.

Recent research highlights the potential of infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for cancer detection through blood derivatives. However, significant confounding factors pose challenges to its clinical adoption, necessitating rigorous standard operating procedures.
