Most spectrometers are large, heavy machines that researchers can't lug easily out of the lab for field work. But researchers have now developed a portable, inexpensive instrument that does atomic ...

Fossil fuels are widely used in automobiles, industry, and power plants, but due to excessive use they are depleting at a rapid rate. This has prompted a search for renewable, sustainable, and ...

Analytical spectrometry encompasses a diverse range of techniques that measure the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, providing both qualitative “fingerprints” and quantitative ...

Salt slurries in petri dishes with methanol are ignited and characteristic colors for various metals are observed. Colors of emission spectra are due to loosely-bound valence electrons being excited ...

An international team of researchers came closer to unraveling the complicated optical response of wide-bandgap semiconductor multiple quantum wells and how atomic-scale lattice vibration can generate ...

X ray spectrometry techniques are nowadays widely used in many analytical applications. The different interactions of x rays with matter have served to provide useful information for comprehensive ...

A team of researchers at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, in collaboration with Bielefeld University and Technical University Braunschweig in Germany, came closer to unraveling ...
