A spectrometer is one of those tools that many of us would love to have, but just can’t justify the price of. Sure there are some DIY options out there, but few of them have the convenience or ...

UC Davis electrical engineers have created a chip-sized device to measure the spectrum of visible and infrared light. The spectrometer-on-a-chip could have a wide range of applications in medicine, ...

Spectral (or optical) resolution is one of the most essential characteristics of a spectrometer. A system’s spectral resolution determines the maximum number of spectral peaks that can be resolved by ...

When a spectrometer is being configured for a given experiment, one of the commonly overlooked considerations is in selecting the best fiber optic cable. While there are many different factors to ...

A portable spectrometer small enough to fit inside a smartphone camera could soon be used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As well as diagnosing diseases the portable spectrometer could ...

A reengineered mass spectrometer prototype can now analyze up to a billion molecules simultaneously, a leap from conventional ...

There is always something interesting to find when browsing the projects on Hackaday.io. I’m always amazed at how much hackers can get done in their basements and home labs. One surprising trend I’ve ...

Light scattering in disordered media has been studied extensively due to its prevalence in natural and artificial systems. In photonics most of the research has focused on understanding and mitigating ...
