Atomic Spectroscopy News
A new study reports an optimised approach to using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for analysing hydrogen isotopes. The new findings could enable improved rapid identification and measurement of hydrogen and other light isotopes that are important in nuclear reactor materials and other applications.
Shimadzu opened a branch office in Denmark in September, providing local support.
New atomic spectroscopy analyses reveal the origin of Stonehenge’s giant sarsen stones as West Woods on the edge of Wiltshire’s Marlborough Downs, about 15 miles to the north.
Analytik Jena plans to celebrate the anniversary with their customers, partners and employees in a special way. Thirty selected stories from customers, partners and employees will be published throughout the year.
