Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in everyday life. The processes taking place inside these materials are the subject ...

Spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the interaction between electromagnetic radiation (or other energetic probes, such as electrons or ions) and matter as a function of wavelength, ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, known as NIR spectroscopy or NIRS, is a long-established analytical technique. For over 30 years, it has proven to be a fast and reliable method for measuring chemical and ...

DRS is used to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissues by analyzing the spectral properties of light reflected from tissue surfaces. 1,2 For instance, it is clinically applied to ...

Do you remember the first time you truly discovered the universe? When I was a teenager, many moons ago, I bought my first telescope, a Celestron 8. I remember excitedly unboxing it the day it arrived ...

Abstract: We report the measurement of the diffuse reflection spectrum of RDX by using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum obtained from the diffuse Fresnel reflection measurement ...
