Atomic emission spectrometry (AES) remains at the forefront of analytical techniques for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis across environmental, biological and industrial contexts. The ...

Most spectrometers are large, heavy machines that researchers can't lug easily out of the lab for field work. But researchers have now developed a portable, inexpensive instrument that does atomic ...

Fossil fuels are widely used in automobiles, industry, and power plants, but due to excessive use they are depleting at a rapid rate. This has prompted a search for renewable, sustainable, and ...

An international team of researchers came closer to unraveling the complicated optical response of wide-bandgap semiconductor multiple quantum wells and how atomic-scale lattice vibration can generate ...

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 ...

Salt slurries in petri dishes with methanol are ignited and characteristic colors for various metals are observed. Colors of emission spectra are due to loosely-bound valence electrons being excited ...

Avantes’ most recent in-house experiment employs Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to assess the elemental makeup of multiple rock samples. Meteorites, the celestial objects that have ...

A team of researchers at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, in collaboration with Bielefeld University and Technical University Braunschweig in Germany, came closer to unraveling ...
