Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it. That ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

New measurements in germanium reveal how excited electrons drive lattice vibrations that govern energy flow and heating in semiconductors.

Terahertz (THz) radiation, which occupies the frequency band between microwaves and infrared light, is essential in many next ...

It is remarkable that Raman spectra can, with the help of statistical inference, be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition. By making this possible, the work of Kamei et al. has ...

MKS Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, will showcase its latest ...

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 ...

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 ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...
