Vibrational infrared (IR) spectroscopy on a spatially resolved microscopic scale, a mainstay of the emerging field of chemical imaging (CI), has seen unprecedented growth in recent years due to the diversity of new instrument designs and measurement techn

A soft contact lens is mostly used type of contact lens which is made of gel-type material. This slippery and transparent material with a unique curvature like human eye requires cutting, drying or freezing to fix for a surface characterizing. Considered

Prof. Schultz’s research focuses on developing innovative approaches utilizing the unique interactions between light and nanostructured materials for near field imaging, ultrasensitive label-free spectroscopic detection, and controlling chemical reactions

Since the invention of atomic force microscopy (AFM), it has found widespread application in non-destructive sample surface imaging and significant interest in its electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was originally developed in the 1980s with its first usage in published experimentation taking place in 1986. AFM operation is based on using a cantilever with a sharp probe tip, with an average radius curvature of several na

Geoscience is a branch of science dealing with the physical and chemical constitution of the Earth and its atmosphere. Nanoscience is the study of structures and materials on the scale of nanometers. To give you an idea of how small a nanometer (nm) is, a
