The smooth and tailorable spectral response of Bragg mirrors has driven their pervasive use in optical systems requiring customizable spectral control of beam propagation. However, the simple nature ...

Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has long been regarded as a low-resolution technique used to obtain an estimate of the a-helix and b-sheet content of proteins. This view of CD, though widely held ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...

Porvair Sciences introduces new black Krystal UV Quartz bottomed microplates that offer excellent optical transmission in the wavelength range 185nm to 1100nm making them ideal for labs looking to ...

Most biomolecules are chiral. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is typically used to provide information about that chirality. But the data for mixtures of biomolecules can be difficult to ...

Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect the chiral signal in mixtures. Although electronic circular ...
