Shooters often kill people who are, or presumably once were, close to them. 25 percent killed a parent, child or stepchild, and 23 percent killed a current or former romantic partner. Even some large ...

Benchtop GC–MS combines gas chromatography's separation power with mass spectrometry's detection capabilities, offering universal and selective analysis in one system. The three GC–MS analysis ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, known as NIR spectroscopy or NIRS, is a long-established analytical technique. For over 30 years, it has proven to be a fast and reliable method for measuring chemical and ...

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 ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

The first half of 2025 saw the release of a flurry of new mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, prompting many to ask: What’s new? And what sets these new instruments apart? So, we thought we would ...

Through mass measurements of silicon-22 combined with theoretical calculations, researchers have revealed that silicon-22 possesses a double-magic structure similar to that of oxygen-22, while also ...

Reliable analytical instruments like spectrometers are essential for advancing health care research and diagnostics. However, budgetary constraints often require cost-effectiveness without ...

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to identify compounds. It involves ionizing molecules, separating the resulting ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), and detecting them to ...

A project at China's Zhejiang Normal University (ZJNU) has applied laser spectroscopy to bomb-peak dating, potentially assisting a number of carbon-dating and forensic applications. Bomb-peak dating ...

When SlideShare, the presentation-sharing service acquired by Scribd, launched in 2006, generative AI technology was significantly less advanced than it is today, and social networking platforms were ...
