Fat: It's an infrared issue

Date: Oct 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

A near-infrared fluorescence imaging probe that binds to brown adipose vasculature and emits skin-penetrating fluorescence that can be picked up from the outside by a highly sensitive camera can be used to distinguish between "good" and "bad" adipose (fat) tissue.

Journal Highlight: Optimization of lipid production for algal biodiesel in nitrogen stressed cells of Dunaliella salina using FTIR analysis

Date: Sep 30, 2013

Author: spectroscopyNOW

A study of the rates of growth and lipid accumulation in Dunaliella salina showed that the trade-off between lipid content, growth rate and cell density needs to be considered for optimisation of lipid productivity for biodiesel.

Journal Highlight: Simultaneously probing two ultrafast condensed-phase molecular symmetry breaking events by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy

Date: Sep 2, 2013

Author: spectroscopyNOW

Direct evidence is presented for two types of solvent-mediated symmetry-breaking events that coexist on the picosecond timescale in a highly symmetric anion in a condensed phase, using 2D IR spectroscopy.

Pale blue dot: Poring over IR data

Date: Sep 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

In the wake of the NASA Cassini mission turning its cameras towards Earth instead of its usually target the planet Saturn, its rings and moons, astronomers are now analyzing an abundance of infrared and ultraviolet data from the images.

Journal Highlight: Refining the interpretation of near-infrared band shapes in a polyynediyl molecular wire

Date: Aug 5, 2013

Author: spectroscopyNOW

The near-IR spectrum of a ruthenium-diyne complex, which serves as a model for the linear carbon allotrope carbyne, has been reexamined to show that the presence of rotamers is a crucial variable that may influence the appearance of the intervalence charge transfer band and the underlying electronic structure.

NIR signatures: Heart to heart

Date: Aug 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

New imaging technology based on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used by researchers at Spectrum Health's Frederik Meijer Heart & Vascular Institute to investigate patients in treatment following a heart attack.

Journal Highlight: Use of near-infrared spectroscopy to identify trends in regional cerebral oxygen saturation in horses

Date: Jul 2, 2013

Author: spectroscopyNOW

Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to identify trends in regional cerebral oxygen saturation in horses and establish a correlation between rSO2 and venous oxygen tensions.

Satisfying your curiosity: The bigger picture

Date: Jul 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

Images recorded by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover and sent back to Earth have been composited into what is the equivalent of a 1000 megapixel photograph of the surface of the Red Planet.

Journal Highlight: Mid-infrared (IR) – A hot topic: The potential for using mid-IR light for non-invasive early detection of skin cancer in vivo

Date: Jun 3, 2013

Author: spectroscopyNOW

The remarkable progress made towards mid-IR spectral in vitro mapping of tissue and cancer detection is reviewed and the status quo of chalcogenide glass mid-IR fibre optics and photonics for remote mid-IR sensing in general, and in vivo cancer detection in particular, is assessed.

Total emissions: Adding up all the light

Date: Jun 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

How much light has been emitted by all the galaxies across the universe since the Big Bang? It is a fundamental question, poignant given that almost every photon ever emitted whether in the ultraviolet to far infrared wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum are still wending their way across the cosmos to this day with relatively few stopped in their tracks by matter.
