Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

“Spectrometers are critical tools for helping us understand the chemical and physical properties of various materials based on how light changes when it interacts with those materials,” says Brendan O ...

Mass spectrometry continues to serve as a cornerstone in the analytical detection of small molecules, providing unparalleled sensitivity, specificity and speed. Traditional methods such as ...

(Nanowerk News) Spectrometers are technology for reading light that date back to the era of famed 17th-century physicist Isaac Newton. They work by breaking down light waves into their different ...

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 ...

This simulation shows a top-down view of how different light patterns in red and green are generated when fed with input from a waveguide on the left. Spectrometers are technology for reading light ...
