When molecules are placed at the interface to metals or metal oxides, an increase in their
infrared (IR) spectral intensities is observed, a phenomenon termed surface-enhanced …

Developing new materials is a long-standing goal that extends across the fields of synthesis,
catalysis, nanotechnology and materials science. Transforming one compound or material …

Efforts to stabilize photoactive formamidinium (FA)–based halide perovskites for perovskite
photovoltaics have focused on the growth of cubic formamidinium lead iodide (α-FAPbI3) …

A wide range of macromolecules can undergo phase separation, forming biomolecular
condensates in living cells. These membraneless organelles are typically highly dynamic …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a broadly applicable, composition sensitive analytical
technique. By leveraging the high spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM), the …

Since microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have started emerging as ubiquitous
contaminants in the environment, a variety of analytical techniques has been developed and …

Bioimaging harnessing optical contrasts and chemical specificity is of vital importance in
probing complex biology. Vibrational spectroscopy based on mid-infrared excitation can …

Conspectus Chirality is ubiquitous in the universe and in living creatures over detectable
length scales from the subatomic to the galactic, as exemplified in the two extremes by …

We review the recent biomedical detection developments of scanning near-field optical
microscopy (SNOM), focusing on scattering-type SNOM, atomic force microscope-based …

Abrupt aggregation of amyloid β1‐42 (Aβ) peptide is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD),
a severe pathology that affects more than 44 million people worldwide. A growing body of …
