If you want to find out what something is made out of, you’ll probably be using a spectrometer. These devices allow scientists to determine what something is made of by shining light through an object ...

A new mass spectrometry technique captures molecules of lower abundance in a sample, providing a more comprehensive sample ...

Optical frequency comb sources provide thousands of precise and accurate optical lines in a single device enabling the broadband and high-speed detection required in many applications. A main ...

Li-ion batteries are critical in energy storage, but their increasing energy density has led to worries about their safety.

A research team led by Prof. Wang Zhenyou at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

A spectrometer is an imaging system used to map plurality of monochromatic images of the entrance slit onto the detector plane. This slit determines the amount of light (photon flux) that enters the ...

A spectrometer is a pretty common lab instrument, useful for determining the absorbance of a sample across a spectrum of light. The standard design is simple; a prism or diffraction grating to break ...

Spectrometers are widely used tools in chemical and biological sensing, materials analysis and light source characterization. The development of a high-resolution on-chip spectrometer could enable ...

University of Illinois chemistry professor Alexander Scheeline has developed software that turns a camera phone, an LED, and a few other cheap tools into a spectrometer. Armed with these, he thinks we ...
