Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

California-based Oclaro Inc. has agreed to acquire the local Spectra-Physics operation of Newport Corp. as part of an asset-exchange deal. Oclaro plans to consolidate some of Spectra-Physics' laser ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study ...

• alphaScan™ high energies and ease-of-use ideal for tumor detection and cancer research Spectra-Physics®, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces alphaScan, a compact integrated optical-parametric ...

A spectrometer that directly detects the vibrational “fingerprint” of molecules offers a sensitive new way of deducing a material’s chemical make-up. The device, which was developed by researchers in ...

Cracking a 15 year physics mystery, researchers measured the precise size of a proton. In A Nutshell A team in Germany used an unprecedentedly precise laser measurement of hydrogen to pin down the ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

How it works: the top frequency comb is passed through a sample of interest and then into a beamsplitter. The bottom frequency comb operates at a slightly different pulse repetition frequency and is ...

Bachana Lomsadze received his Bachelor’s degree in physics from Tbilisi State University (Georgia) in 2007 and a Ph.D. in Physics from Kansas State University (KSU) in 2012. At KSU he worked in the ...
