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 ...

Researchers in Japan are the first to have succeeded in detecting single atoms using X-ray spectroscopy. Although a difficult technique, the work is an important step forward in studying and ...

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 ...

X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are two techniques used to study atomic structures. The main difference between these tools is that X-ray crystallography uses X ...

Researchers developed an AI-guided method that dramatically speeds up a widely used X-ray technique known as X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. It does so with far less risk of ...

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy uses the tunable broadband X-ray radiation delivered by synchrotrons to provide electronic and structural parameters for the metal-containing active sites of ...

X-ray spectroscopy techniques (e.g. X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc.) are used in a variety of applications including in material science, astronomy, and biomedical.

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 ...
