Introduction to Raman Spectroscopy Vibration spectroscopy is a method for determining the molecular skeleton caused by vibrational vibrations of particles. Raman scattering is a popular vibration spectroscopy technique. Raman signals produce different spectra for molecules and are useful for analytical purposes. However, Raman scattering has drawbacks and requires considerable improvement before its ...

MIT Quantum Sensor Can Detect Electromagnetic Signals of Any Frequency

Image
By David L. Chandler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 10 July 2022 Scientists at MIT have developed a method to enable such quantum sensors to detect arbitrary frequencies, without losing their ability to measure nanometer-scale features. MIT MIT stands for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861. It is organized into five Schools: architecture and planning; manipulation; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MIT’s impact includes many scientific breakthroughs and technological advances. Their stated goal is to make the world a better place through education, research, and innovation. ” data-gt-translate-attributes=”[{” attribute=””>MIT engineers expand the capabilities of these ultrasensitive nanoscale detectors, with potential uses for biological sensing and quantum computing Performing computation using quantu...
