A strange metal rich asteroid called Psyche may be the exposed core of an ancient failed planet, and NASA’s mission could finally reveal what lies beneath its battered surface.

A project at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has developed a compact spectrometer-on-a-chip that could enhance hyperspectral sensing operations. As described in Advanced Photonics the ...

If you have ever thought, “I wish I could have a mass spectrometer at home,” then we aren’t very surprised you are reading Hackaday. [Thomas Scherrer] somehow acquired a broken Brucker Microflex LT ...

Minutes before a 10-hour surgical procedure, 8-year-old Olivia Olson sat on a hospital bed grinning. With quiet confidence she explained why the operation was so important to her. “I think I look ...

There are many questions about whether a plan to rebuild Israeli-held parts of the enclave is feasible or doomed from the outset. By David M. Halbfinger Reporting from Jerusalem Vice President JD ...

Spectrometers analyze light-matter interactions across a range of wavelengths, serving as vital tools in scientific research and industries. Historically constrained by large size, complexity, and ...

When ion-exchange chromatography and mass spectrometry are coupled using electrochemical ion suppression, it allows for the selective and specific analysis of highly polar and ionic compounds. The ...

Mississippi's secession from the Union in 1861 was driven by the desire to protect slavery. A new state constitution in 1868 aimed to create a multi-racial democracy during Reconstruction. By 1876, ...

Near-infrared (NIR) light (typically 700–1700 nm) is especially valuable in applications ranging from chemical sensing to non-invasive medical diagnostics, which exploit deeper tissue penetration and ...

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 ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

A new spectrometer developed at North Carolina State University could bring advanced chemical analysis tools to smartphones and other compact devices. Spectrometers are essential tools that analyze ...
