A research team led by Prof. Chen Chilai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a deep-sea mass spectrometer. It has completed several sea ...

Understanding how fat molecules are organised and function in living organisms is essential to reveal mechanisms of ageing, ...

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 ...

As interest in therapeutic TIDES grows, regulatory agencies are increasingly requiring more rigorous characterization to ensure patient safety, drug efficacy, and quality. To meet these demands, ...

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.

In neuroinflammation, immune cells such as leukocytes cross the blood-brain barrier. One key to this is the gelatinases matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9. Until now, the substrates of these ...

Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, though ...
