When light reflects off a surface, not all of it reflects off at the same wavelength; some photons impart a portion of their ...

A new high-tech spectrometer is helping Ohio University researchers see the unseen. By revealing molecular structures with ...

[Project 326] wanted to know exactly what gas was in some glass tubes. The answer, of course, is to use a spectrometer, but that’s an expensive piece of gear, right? Not really. Sure, these cheap ...

Researchers have developed a compact, low-cost convolutional spectrometer that delivers lab-grade precision for applications ...

Color, as the way light's wavelength is perceived by the human eye, goes beyond a simple aesthetic element, containing important scientific information like a substance's composition or state.

New research published the journal Biomedical Optics Express describes a smartphone-compatible spectrometer held and directed like a pencil. According to the article's authors, this novel device could ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food quality, or analyzing pollution, depended on large, expensive laboratory ...

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 groundbreaking superconducting X-ray spectrometer has begun operation at BESSY II, giving Europe its first TES-based system ...

Spectral images, which contain more color information than is obtainable with a typical camera, reveal characteristics of tissue and other biological samples that can't be seen by the naked eye. A new ...
