A multilayered semiconductor acting as an optical sensor opens the way to miniaturized, adjunct spectrometers.

Researchers 3D printed a mini quadrupole mass filter, a key component of a mass spectrometer, that performs as well as some commercial-grade devices. It can be fabricated in hours for a few dollars ...

This is a close-up view of the “spectrometer-on-a-chip” technology that could dramatically reduce the size of spectrometers in the future. (Credit: NASA Goddard/Chris Gunn) The Composite Infrared ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical spectrometers are devices that measure the variation in the absorption and emission of light over a range ( the change in the absorption and emission of light with ...

The Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft is now back in operation after a malfunction, reported a few months ago. The instrument had been successfully ...

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.
