A spectrometer is an instrument that is often employed to examine, identify, and precisely gauge electromagnetic radiation emanating from a substance. This aids in identifying the elemental ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...

In Star Trek, Mr. Spock’s hand-held tricorder can instantly tell what something is made of. We don’t have tricorders yet, but we’re getting close. Portable devices just a little too big to hold in one ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a ...

In this article, we discuss the principle behind the functioning of glow discharge optical emission spectrometry, some of its practical applications as well as studies that have used the technology in ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...

Europe's first and only TES spectrometer at a synchrotron source is now in operation at BESSY II, developed within a ...

Advanced precision agriculture requires the objective measurement of the structural and functional properties of plants. Biochemical profiles in leaves can differ depending on plant growing conditions ...

Optical spectrometers are essential tools for analysing light‒matter interactions, but conventional spectrometers can be complicated and bulky. Recently, efforts have been made to develop miniaturized ...
