Sensitive chemical analyses of minute samples of nanoparticles can be done by, essentially, roasting them on top of a quartz crystal, new research demonstrates. Chemical analysis of nanoparticles is a ...

The use of terahertz (THz) waves for biosensing is currently receiving considerable attention. THz waves are able to detect molecular vibrations and rotations, without using labels that can affect the ...

Electron beam microanalysis comprises a suite of nondestructive methods that employ a focussed electron probe to induce characteristic X-ray or emitted electrons from a material, yielding quantitative ...

Within analytical sciences, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (otherwise known as EDS) and CL in the scanning electron microscope (termed SEM) are vital microanalysis techniques. During the process ...

"Short course ... delivered at the joint annual meeting of the GAC-MAC, St. John's, NL, 25-26 May, 2012." 1. Use of the Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA) for Mineralogical Studies of Sediments and ...

CHN microanalysis is a key analytical technique for determining whether or not a sample is pure by providing a precise and accurate analysis of its percentage Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen content and ...

Researchers have developed a sensing method with the potential to significantly contribute to early detection of cancer and diabetes. The use of terahertz (THz) waves for biosensing is currently ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have demonstrated that they can make sensitive chemical analyses of minute samples ...
