Imagine an ultrathin smart tablet that can be stretched from mini-size to extra large Engineering researchers at Michigan State University have developed the first stretchable integrated circuit that is made entirely using an inkjet printer, raising the possibility of inexpensive mass production of smart fabric. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Evaluation of Micro-Fibers Utilizing Microspectroscopy Forensic investigations commonly involve the collection of textile fibers when examining crime scenes. The need to characterize and identify those fibers is vital as they can provide extensive information relating to a crime, tying a suspect to a location. FT-IR presents a nondestructive method to identify those fibers. FT-IR can be coupled with microscopy, presenting the ability to provide a forensic examiner with both detailed visual microscopic information and simultaneous material identification.
