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

In preliminary work, it is found that the sensitivity achieved using a miniature mass spectrometer with a discontinuous atmospheric pressure interface (DAPI) is comparable with those achieved using ...

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.

ATLANTA (June 7, 2005) – The sequencing of the human genome was only the beginning of a much more complex task – deciphering the secrets of cellular chemistry and the mechanisms of disease. While the ...
