(Nanowerk News) Infrared imaging technology is crucial for advancing our understanding of the world, from exploring biological specimens to inspecting complex materials and detecting hidden patterns ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications have developed a system that allows solar cells to effectively harvest energy from the infrared spectrum, tapping into a source of energy ...

Solar cells convert three-quarters of the energy contained in the Sun's spectrum into electricity -- yet the infrared spectrum is entirely lost in standard solar cells. In contrast, black silicon ...

Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is an optical technique that detects molecular bond vibrations and rotations upon absorption of infrared light. Because different chemical functional groups ...

Submicron and nanoscale chemical identification of semiconductor materials, particularly organic ones, poses a considerable challenge in the analysis of devices and also in the process control and ...

For the successful hybrid bonding of Cu-Cu to occur in highly demanding, sophisticated packaging, the two mating dielectric surfaces, often silicon oxides, must bond effectively at low temperatures.

Raman spectroscopy uses inelastic scattering of protons from molecules that are covalently bound in order to identify functional groups, stresses, strains and crystallinity. It is a tool that is ...
