Light-matter interaction is one of the most fundamental ways to explore the physical world. While the reflection and refraction of light reveal the structural characteristics of matter, inelastic ...

In this interview, industry experts explain how Photothermal Stimulated Raman (PT-SRS) microscopy advances chemical imaging by combining Raman sensitivity with photothermal detection for faster, ...

An international research team led by physicists from Collaborative Research Centre 1238, 'Control and Dynamics of Quantum Materials' at the University of Cologne has implemented a new variant of the ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

Rapidly analyzing samples for the presence of bacteria and similar organic structures is generally quite a time-intensive process, with often the requirement of a cell culture being developed.

Raman spectroscopy is an analytical characterization technique which has been around for many decades. Since it’s first inception to build a database of molecular vibrational frequencies, it has ...

A cloud of ultracold atoms is like a motel with a neon “no vacancy” sign. If a guest at the motel wants to switch rooms, they’re out of luck. No vacant rooms means there’s no choice but to stay put.

Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet ...
