Mid-infrared spectroscopy can identify the molecular composition of unknown samples by their “fingerprints” at different wavelengths, allowing scientists to look beyond visible light’s band within the electromagnetic spectrum. The resulting compositional data is valuable for analyzing chemical and biological samples; however, the technology is generally confined to large instruments in research laboratories—limiting its accessibility and …

Not only do the majority of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries, per the World Health Organization, but treatment also lags in those under-resourced locales, more often leading to death or disability. To more effectively diagnose and treat patients in developing countries—and even here in Wisconsin—healthcare organizations have turned to programs that …

It’s well-known among scientists that viruses can alter the makeup and function of ecosystems. For example, they promote microbial diversity by infecting and killing select bacteria, and their impact on microbial communities can influence the global carbon cycle.
