This paper demonstrates an approach to obtain chemical images of pharmaceutical tablets using attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR images with different fields of view and spatial resolution have been obtained using a combination of different ATR accessories. FT-IR imaging with the diamond ATR accessory and micro-ATR imaging technique have been compared. With the diamond ATR imaging accessory, compaction to a tablet can be performed and the chemical image measured in situ. It has been found that the diamond ATR imaging accessory gives information on the overall distribution of different components in a tablet while the micro-ATR imaging technique provides a closer look at the tablet with 4-microm spatial resolution. Low-concentration components down to 0.5% have been detected by the micro-ATR method. Both experimental and commercial systems are studied in this paper.

Rapid detection of NO -N is critical to address the challenges of food security, environmental degradation, and climate change. Conventional methods for sensing NO -N in water demand pretreatments and chemical reagents, which are time- and cost-consuming. Consequently, Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy has been well applied for the determination of NO -N.

Effective design and engineering of catalysts for an optimal performance depend extensively on a profound understanding of the intricate catalytic dynamics under reaction conditions. In this work, we showcase rapid freeze-quench (RFQ) Mössbauer spectroscopy as a powerful technique for quantitatively monitoring the catalytic dynamics of single-Cu-atom-modified SnS (Cu/SnS) in the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR). Utilizing the newly established RFQ Sn Mössbauer methodology, we clearly identified the dynamic transformation of Cu/SnS to Cu/SnS and Cu/Sn during the CORR, resulting in an outstanding Faradaic efficiency for formate production (∼90.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) offers a sustainable strategy for producing fuels and chemicals. However, it suffers from sluggish CO activation and slow water dissociation. In this work, we construct a (P-O) modified In catalyst that exhibits high activity and selectivity in electrochemical CO reduction to formate.

For patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors without currently targetable molecular alterations, standard-of-care treatment is immunotherapy with anti-PD-(L)1 checkpoint inhibitors, alone or with platinum-doublet therapy. However, not all patients derive durable benefit and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade is common. Understanding mechanisms of resistance-which can include defects in DNA damage response and repair pathways, alterations or functional mutations in STK11/LKB1, alterations in antigen-presentation pathways, and immunosuppressive cellular subsets within the tumor microenvironment-and developing effective therapies to overcome them, remains an unmet need.
