For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments ...

Aggregation of some chromophores generates very strong fluorescence signals due to the tight molecular packing and highly restricted vibrational motions in the electronically excited states. Such an ...

Explore how forensic material testing is used to identify construction failures, prevent risk, and improve long-term ...

A research team has identified the synthesis principle of eco-friendly ternary quantum dots that are harmless to the human ...

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides a powerful tool for in situ chemical speciation, but is severely limited by poor spectroscopic energy resolution. Here, we provide a systematic examination ...

A Kansas cornfield just pulled a fast one on climate pessimists. Beneath stalks that never leave their county, researchers ...

ABSTRACT . Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry has been increasingly adopted for varying studies worldwide. This work aimed at characterizing effects of soil management on the content of ...
