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 ...

Soft X‐ray spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in astrophysics as it reveals the physical conditions of hot plasmas and energetic phenomena in the universe. By focusing on the soft X‐ray band—typically ...

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-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, ...

A major advance in solution phase soft-x-ray spectroscopy has been achieved utilizing a new liquid flatjet system, paving the way for novel steady-state and time-resolved experiments. A major advance ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have captured the ephemeral electron movements in a transient state of a chemical reaction using ultrafast, tabletop X-ray spectroscopy. The researchers used ...

What is X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)? X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the local atomic and electronic structure of materials by measuring the ...

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 ...

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 ...
