This article examines how featurefindIR enhances measurement efficiency, enabling swift detection, spectroscopic measurement, and chemical identification of particles, including microplastics, ranging from sub-microns to millimeters.

Kolkata: Inspired by natural photosynthetic systems, researchers in Kolkata have developed a new method of harvesting artificial light using organic nanotubes, which can be utilized in solar cells, photocatalysis, optical sensors, and tunable multi-color light-emitting materials.

This article explores how sub-micron IR and Raman Spectroscopy can be used for microplastics research.

Microbial lipids are found to be an interesting green alternative to expand available oil sources for the chemical industry. Yeasts are considered a promising platform for sustainable lipid production. Remarkably, some oleaginous yeasts have even shown the ability to grow and accumulate lipids using unusual carbon sources derived from organic wastes, such as volatile fatty acids. Recent research efforts have been focused on developing rapid and accurate fluorometric methods for the quantificatio...

Date Time Just Mix It Up: New Synthetic Method for Making Amphiphilic Molecules without Additives Amphiphilic molecules, which aggregate and encapsulate molecules in water, find use in several fields of chemistry. The simple, additive-free connection of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules would be an efficient method for amphiphilic molecule synthesis. However, such connections, or bonds, are often fragile in water. Now, scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed an easy way t...
