TL;DR: This review will describe the basic principles for achieving super resolution, demonstrate some applications in biology, and provide an overview of technical considerations for implementing these methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the structure of water molecules at water/silica interfaces in the presence of alkali chloride using infrared−visible sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy, and significant perturbations of the interfacial water structure were observed on silica surfaces with the NaCl concentration as low as 1 × 10−4 M.

TL;DR: In acid solutions the frequency-tuning rate as well as the potential-dependent bandwidth deviates from expected linear relationships, interpreted in terms of compression/dissipation of CO islands during the CO oxidation, engendered by competitive adsorption between inactive anions from a supporting electrolyte and the reactive OH species.

TL;DR: The polarization-rotating technique was introduced to enhance the sensitivity of SFG for monitoring the surface structure relaxations during a cooling process, and a new surface structure relaxation was observed at 67 degrees C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lowest charge transfer band of CO on Pt(111) was identified using two-dimensional infrared-visible sum frequency generation spectroscopy, and the electronic resonance associated with the stretching mode of atop CO appeared at 2.51 eV with a bandwidth of 0.83 eV, consistent with earlier calculations using CO-Pt cluster models indicating that the resonance is from $5d$ to $6sp$ orbital of Pt hybridized with orbital of CO.
