IREvolution

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming workshop, "Infrared Evolution: From Far-Field to Nano-Spectroscopy." Long established as an indispensable and versatile tool, infrared (IR) spectroscopy continues to deliver breakthrough discoveries across a vast range of disciplines, from condensed matter physics and advanced materials characterization to structural biology, pharmaceuticals, and chemical engineering. Driven by advances in IR detectors as well as synchrotron- and laser-based IR light sources, traditional far-field methods offer exceptional sensitivity and speed, achieving diffraction-limited precision across the near-IR to THz spectral ranges.

Yet, the field is undergoing a powerful transformation. The implementation and widespread adoption of near-field approaches now allow researchers to bypass the diffraction limit, unlocking remarkable nanoscale capabilities. This workshop highlights the vital synergy between the macro, micro, and nano domains in infrared spectroscopy: nano-IR is a direct evolution of classical far-field methods and fundamentally relies on high-quality far-field data to succeed.

Join us to discover how modern IR spectroscopy techniques across these scales can elevate your research and extend the boundaries of molecular spectroscopy.
