Millions of light-years away, millions of years ago, a star exploded. In this violent process, it ejected incredible amounts ...

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

Researchers in Germany have brought Europe’s first and only superconducting TES-array X-ray spectrometer online ...

A team at Tokyo Metropolitan University has shown through numerical simulations that an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer ...

A portable spectrometer small enough to fit inside a smartphone camera could soon be used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As well as diagnosing diseases the portable spectrometer could ...

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 ...

We know the effect of passing white light through a prism and seeing the color spectrum that comes out of the other side. It will not be noticeable to the naked eye, but that rainbow does not fully ...

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 ...

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 ...

Spectral (or optical) resolution is one of the most essential characteristics of a spectrometer. A system’s spectral resolution determines the maximum number of spectral peaks that can be resolved by ...

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 ...
