Refraction deflects photons that pass through atmospheres, which affects transit light curves. Refraction thus provides an avenue to probe physical properties of exoplanet atmospheres and to constrain ...

Ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing the dynamics of atoms and molecules with attosecond time resolution. However, conventional XUV absorption ...

The pressure exerted on a surface when it is struck by light is tiny, but it is enough to move very small objects. Shigeki Matsuo and co-workers at the University of Tokushima and the Nara Institute ...

Infrared spectroscopy is a vital analytical tool that investigates the interaction between infrared light and matter by probing characteristic vibrational modes. This technique, when combined with ...

Block diagram of Faraday effect measurement system using dual-comb spectroscopy. The signal comb (red line) passes through the sample and is superposed with the local comb (blue line). The vertical ...

As a technique based on light scattering rather than light absorption, Raman spectroscopy is uniquely suited for analysis of multi-phase liquid streams where boundary layers cause issues due to ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Theoretical understanding of heavy-fermion superconductors has just slipped a notch or two, says a team of experimentalists. Researchers from the University of Illinois at ...

(Nanowerk News) Terahertz spectroscopy, which uses the band of electromagnetic radiation between microwaves and infrared light, is a promising security technology because it can extract the ...
