An unlooked-for experimental observation that in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) the absorption peak of the second overtone of aniline adsorbed by 13X molecular sieve nearly disappeared led us investigate a fundamental question: the behavior of NIR when the outside space surrounding a molecule is too small to allow the molecule to vibrate freely. Through NIR of various organic compounds adsorbed by different porous inorganic materials like 13X molecular sieve, silica gel and active aluminium oxide, and NIR of supramolecular cyanuric acid-melamine, we can reasonably confirm a theoretical inference that in the micro-environment above, all intensities of NIR absorbance decrease, and the second overtone decreases more than the first overtone does. Furthermore, one distinct feature of NIR, higher sensitivity to the size of micro-environmental space as compared with mid-infrared (MIR), and its potential application to the study of supramolecular structure are outlined by our experiments.

Given that non-equilibrium molecular motion in thermal gradients is influenced by both solute and solvent, the application of spectroscopic methods that probe each component in a binary mixture can provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of thermal diffusion for a large class of systems. In the present work, we use an all-optical setup whereby near-infrared excitation of the solvent leads to a steady-state thermal gradient in solution, followed by characterization of the non-equilibrium system with electronic spectroscopy, imaging, and intensity. Using rhodamine B in water as a case study, we perform measurements as a function of solute concentration, temperature, wavelength, time, near-infrared laser power, visible excitation wavelength, and isotope effect.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are promising nanomedicine vehicles due to their biocompatibility and ability to carry large cargoes. It is critical in nanomedicine development to be able to map their uptake in cells, including distinguishing surface associated MSNPs from those that are embedded or internalized into cells. Conventional nanoscale imaging techniques, such as electron and fluorescence microscopies, however, generally require the use of stains and labels to image both the biological material and the nanomedicines, which can interfere with the biological processes at play.

Objective: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive tool providing real-time continuous measurement of regional cerebral blood oxygenation and indirect blood flow. The aim of this review is to determine the best evidence to guide the use of NIRS to detect and avoid abnormalities of cerebral perfusion and oxygenation in newborns with bradycardia.
Design: For this systematic review according to PRISMA Statement, we reviewed papers from 2000 to 2023.

Organoarsenicals are toxic pollutants of global concern, and their environmental geochemical behavior might be greatly controlled by iron (Fe) (hydr)oxides through coprecipitation, which is rarely investigated. Here, the effects of the incorporation of dimethylarsenate (DMAs(V)), a typical organoarsenical, into the ferrihydrite (Fh) structure on the mineral physicochemical properties and Fe(II)-induced phase transformation of DMAs(V)-Fh coprecipitates with As/Fe molar ratios up to 0.0876±0.

Wheat flour quality, determined by factors such as protein and moisture content, is crucial in food production. Traditional methods for analyzing these parameters, though precise, are time-consuming and impractical for large-scale operations. This study presents a lightweight convolutional neural network designed for real-time wheat flour quality monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy.
