Advances in electron optics and X-ray detection are opening up the periodic table to one of the ultimate goals of microanalysis — single-atom spectroscopy. The researchers used their data to estimate ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is based on the same principle as all photoelectron spectroscopy methods. If a molecule or material is irradiated with light of a known energy above the ionization ...

X ray spectroscopy is a widely used method to characterize a compound based on its characteristic X ray emission spectrum 1. When energy is supplied to an atom, the electrons in the atom absorbs the ...

Soft X‐ray spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in astrophysics as it reveals the physical conditions of hot plasmas and energetic phenomena in the universe. By focusing on the soft X‐ray band—typically ...

X-ray spectroscopy measurements that previously needed to be done at a synchrotron facility could become available to a broader audience thanks to a new tabletop system (Anal. Chem. 2022, DOI: 10.1021 ...

A star explodes, and its contents — trillions of tons of carbon, iron, calcium, and other heavy elements — suddenly race into the surrounding interstellar medium, forming a colorful, wispy remnant ...

A major advance in solution phase soft-x-ray spectroscopy has been achieved utilizing a new liquid flatjet system, paving the way for novel steady-state and time-resolved experiments. A major advance ...

For the first time, researchers have captured the ephemeral electron movements in a transient state of a chemical reaction using ultrafast, tabletop X-ray spectroscopy. The researchers used ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

Recent news that x-ray spectroscopy is being introduced in forensic applications by scientists at Massachusetts' Thermo Scientific Laboratories proves that everything old becomes new again. X-rays ...
