When researchers want to uncover what atoms make up a material, they turn to a number of tried-and-true spectroscopy methods. Spectroscopy works by shining a specific type of light onto a substance ...

Learn about color and how to create a spectroscope using simple materials. What is color? Learn about light and wavelengths and what creates color in this episode of Camp GPB. Then learn how to build ...

Sunlight reaches the earth as white light, which is made up of all the rainbow colors. Rainbow colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It is easy to remember them by using the ...

An ultraviolet photon-counting dual-comb spectrometer. Two ultraviolet frequency combs of slightly different pulse repetition frequencies are generated at very low light levels by nonlinear frequency ...

Researchers have improved a method for probing semiconducting crystals with light to detect defects and impurities. The details of their 'omnidirectional photoluminescence (ODPL) spectroscopy' set-up ...

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical method that generates complex information about the phase, chemical structure and crystallinity of sample matter. A range of molecular interactions ...

When we taught a class of first year chem/biochem majors about spectroscopy, we introduced them to it with a task. It was to dig through bins full of the things shown below (many of them 3D-printed ...

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 ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This spectroscope was designed to be ...
