Infrared signature analysis underpins both the detection and the mitigation of heat emissions from aircraft and spacecraft. Infrared signatures arise primarily from high-temperature exhaust plumes, ...

Advancing knowledge of the mineralogical composition of dust is key for understanding and predicting its climate and environmental impacts. The variability of dust mineralogy from one source to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a compact frequency-comb apparatus that rapidly measures the entire infrared band of light to detect biological, chemical and physical properties of matter. Researchers ...

Researchers from the Nanooptics Group at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian) demonstrate that nanoscale infrared imaging—which is established as a surface-sensitive technique—can be employed for chemical ...

Astronomers uncover extremely hot and violent eruption from first ever near-infrared analysis of a recurrent nova outside of the Milky Way Galaxy Almost all novae discovered to-date have been observed ...

Is there now at long last some plausible theoretical basis for the molecular origins and carriers of at least some of the most prominent unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands that have mystified ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and collaborators have demonstrated a compact frequency-comb apparatus that rapidly measures the entire infrared band of light ...
