MX908 is a multi-mission handheld mass spectrometer for real-time chemical detection and identification, utilized by elite responders conducting chemical, explosive, priority drug and HazMat ...

Red laser light is coupled into a spectrometer chip with an optical fiber from the left. The light travels along the chip until it is scattered out the the top in a waveguide section on the right.

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called ...

The MX908 mass spectrometer device, which was originally marketed by portable chemical analysis startup 908 Devices as a counterterrorism tool, is now being used by the Boston Public Health Commission ...

For electrical engineers working in almost any part of the wired or wireless spectrum, the spectrum analyzer is a critical test and measurement tool. For optical engineering, the equivalent tool is ...

Researchers have developed a spectrometer capable of applications ranging from disease detection to astronomical observations. Spectrometers have been around for centuries, but this is a game-changer.

The UC Davis device exploits the properties of photon-trapping surface textures (PTST), surface modifications that enhance the light absorption capabilities of silicon photodiodes in the near-IR range ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food quality, or analyzing pollution, depended on large, expensive laboratory ...

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

(Nanowerk News) Spectrometers are technology for reading light that date back to the era of famed 17th-century physicist Isaac Newton. They work by breaking down light waves into their different ...
