A new doctoral dissertation by Omar Anwar Elkadi in the field of Applied Physics on near-infrared spectroscopy for the ...

The size of a nucleus (nuclear charge radius) is an important physical quantity that reflects the arrangement of protons and neutrons within the nucleus. Particularly in deformed nuclei, such as those ...

Scientists from the University of Ottawa and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light are proposing a breakthrough approach that will facilitate discoveries in materials science by combining ...

A signal-processing algorithm called compressive sensing lets researchers characterize a sample with ultrafast spectroscopy using far fewer measurements than before. Figure 1: Schematic application of ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way of measuring the electronic states of a material’s surface while avoiding signal contaminations from deeper layers. Figure 1: Sketch of the Auger-mediated positron ...

Traditional methods struggle to quantify the optical heterogeneity in nanomaterials. Here the authors develop a new spectroscopic tool that rapidly extracts trends in single-particle spectra and apply ...

Researchers have built an extended-cavity tapered amplifier laser stabilized by a volume Bragg grating that delivers up to ...

A modified version of a spectroscopic technique used at large-scale radioactive-ion-beam facilities could be used in tabletop experiments. Figure 1: Sketch of the experimental setup demonstrated by ...

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 ...

California-based Oclaro Inc. has agreed to acquire the local Spectra-Physics operation of Newport Corp. as part of an asset-exchange deal. Oclaro plans to consolidate some of Spectra-Physics' laser ...
