Spectroscopy
A metamaterial absorber capable of highly sensitive infrared detection enhances the spectroscopy of tiny molecular details
Technique brings researchers closer to photosynthetic energy production
Berkeley Lab scientist invents technique to combine spectroscopy with super-resolution microscopy
Method has potential to measure neutrino mass and look beyond the Standard Model of the universe.
A newly developed spectroscopy method is helping to clarify the poorly understood molecular process by which an anti-HIV drug induces lethal mutations in the virus’ genetic material. The findings from the University of Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could bolster efforts to develop the next generation of anti-viral treatments.
Near the end of January, SPECTRO Analytical Instruments announced the first spectrometer that allows users to quickly and easily select axial plasma or radial plasma observation in a single instrument without any optical compromise—the ARCOS.
For the first time, a mission designed to set its eyes on black holes and other objects far from our solar system has turned its gaze back closer to home, capturing images of our sun. NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has taken its first picture of the sun, producing the most sensitive solar portrait ever taken in high-energy X-rays.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most sensitive and informative surface analysis techniques available. However, XPS requires a high vacuum to operate, which makes analyzing materials in liquid and gaseous environments difficult.
Collaboration with Lund University uses modified University of Oregon spectroscopy equipment to study 'maze' of connections in photoactive quantum dots.
