A Look At Raman Spectroscopy What is it? It is a technique that analyzes the vibrational modes of molecules using light. When a laser beam interacts with a sample, most of the light scatters elastically (Rayleigh scattering). However, a small…

Learn the best techniques for preparing non-conductive samples for SEM imaging, including sputter coating with gold, platinum, and carbon.
In nuclear science and forensic analysis, determining the exact chemical phase of a radioactive material is critical. A particle’s phase can reveal its manufacturing route, processing history, or environmental origin, all of which are vital for safety assessments and source…
Radiation damage often begins invisibly. At the atomic and molecular levels, exposure to ionizing radiation can introduce defects, disrupt crystal lattices, and alter chemical bonds long before catastrophic failure becomes visible. Detecting these subtle shifts requires a combination of techniques…
