Scientists could have a new way to explore the hidden behavior of matter, thanks to research involving Queen Mary University ...

Many fascinating phases in quantum materials emerge when electrons, atoms and other microscopic components begin to act ...

With 5,000 tiny robots in a mountaintop telescope, researchers can look 11 billion years into the past. The light from far-flung objects in space is just now reaching the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Bachana Lomsadze received his Bachelor’s degree in physics from Tbilisi State University (Georgia) in 2007 and a Ph.D. in Physics from Kansas State University (KSU) in 2012. At KSU he worked in the ...

TERS gives the vibrational information of a sample with nanometric resolution. Obtaining physico-chemical information with such resolution opens up possibilities to characterize materials at ...

Precision measurements of calcium atoms revealed an unexpected pattern that cannot be explained by the simplest atomic ...

Spectroscopic methods form the cornerstone of molecular analysis by probing interactions between electromagnetic radiation and matter to reveal structural, dynamical and compositional information.

Ellipsometry is a total optical measurement technique. This method is employed to measure how the polarization of light changes when passing through a medium. The polarized light shows distortion ...

A spectrometer that directly detects the vibrational “fingerprint” of molecules offers a sensitive new way of deducing a material’s chemical make-up. The device, which was developed by researchers in ...

The applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry for the precise characterization of liquid-liquid and liquid-air interfaces include surface science, biomedical applications, thin film coatings, and ...
