Stone samples brought back to Earth from asteroid Ryugu have had their elemental composition analyzed using an artificially generated muon beam from the particle accelerator in J-PARC. Researchers ...

Gems' unique elemental composition and atomic orientation act as a fingerprint, enabling researchers to uncover the stones' past, and with it, historical trade routes. Scientists now employ three ...

The bulk elemental composition of Earth can’t be fully explained by compositional differences in its initial building blocks, according to a new study by Paul Frossard and colleagues. Instead, they ...

Whilst 97% of the liquid in wine is water and ethanol, the remaining 3% contains thousands of discrete molecules from acids and sugars to aroma compounds and phenolic compounds. According to ...

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis is among the most commonly used tools, yet it is not always the best method. This is because sample digestion and frequent calibration are necessary ...

What is Elemental Analysis and Why is it Used? Nanotechnology has emerged as a scientific and engineering field that promises many potential solutions to a wide range of problems. Nanomaterials occur ...

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) allows us to observe samples in a preserved state that is close to their native form, making it a highly effective way to examine biological samples.

XPS relies on the photoelectric effect, where irradiating a material with X-rays causes the emission of core electrons. The kinetic energy of these emitted electrons is measured, which can be directly ...
