In the realm of optical engineering and photonics, optical bandpass filters stand as essential yet often underappreciated components. These filters, integral in managing light wavelengths, are crucial in a ...

Introduction to Ligand-Binding Affinity Ligand-bound complexes are the basis of many reactions in biochemistry and pharmacology. Millions of these biochemical reactions take place in a human body every ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...

Sub-nanometer imaging is desired over a range of different fields with uses from profiling thin films to investigating biological materials. In this blog post we will explore some of the methods for ...

Ultraviolet Doppler Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-DOAS) is a long distance measurement technique used for detecting chemicals in the atmosphere. This technology is important in our modern world where ...

Introduction to Superconductors (Traditional) Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes when he found Mercury to have an abrupt drop in electrical resistance at a temperature ...

Modern Stroke Diagnosis As discussed in a recent article, strokes are one of the most common causes of death in the world. One study found that about 90% of all strokes occur due to cerebral ischemia while ...

Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (or FTIR, for short) is a method of exploring the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases. More specifically, it allows the study of the absorptive and ...

Precision agriculture is the practice of micromanaging crops to maximize yield, with the help of sensors, mapping techniques and laboratory studies like spectroscopy. This type of “smart” farming is ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have been experimenting with laser sources called optical frequency combs to find a new way of studying molecular structures. Frequency combs get their ...
