Scientists at The Rockefeller University have built a prototype mass spectrometer that can process over a billion molecules ...

One of the features that made Scientific American magazine great was a column called “The Amateur Scientist.” Every month, readers were treated to experiments that could be done at home, or some ...

Researchers developed a multi-channel mass spectrometry system that processes ions in parallel, enhancing signal detection, ...

UC Davis electrical engineers have created a chip-sized device to measure the spectrum of visible and infrared light. The spectrometer-on-a-chip could have a wide range of applications in medicine, ...

Spectral (or optical) resolution is one of the most essential characteristics of a spectrometer. A system’s spectral resolution determines the maximum number of spectral peaks that can be resolved by ...

A spectrometer is one of those tools that many of us would love to have, but just can’t justify the price of. Sure there are some DIY options out there, but few of them have the convenience or ...

When a spectrometer is being configured for a given experiment, one of the commonly overlooked considerations is in selecting the best fiber optic cable. While there are many different factors to ...

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 portable spectrometer small enough to fit inside a smartphone camera could soon be used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As well as diagnosing diseases the portable spectrometer could ...

A reengineered mass spectrometer prototype can now analyze up to a billion molecules simultaneously, a leap from conventional ...
