X-ray spectroscopy techniques (e.g. X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc.) are used in a variety of applications including in material science, astronomy, and biomedical.

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed the structure, motion and temperature of the material around a supermassive black hole and in a supernova remnant in unprecedented ...

The many-body interaction of charges (electrons) and nuclei (phonons) plays a critical role in determining the properties and functionalities of molecules and solids. The exact correlated motion of ...

With a novel approach to X-ray spectroscopy, researchers are now able to capture detailed, ultrafast snapshots of electron interactions. The technique, called stochastic Stimulated X-ray Raman ...

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 ...

Herein, the O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) profile of an aqueous acetonitrile solution presented a distinct sharp peak not commonly observed in the corresponding profile of liquid water.

NASA’s EMIT sensor uses imaging spectroscopy and spectral libraries to support large-scale tracking of plastic and other marine debris from space.

Researchers have captured one of the fastest movements of a molecule called ferricyanide for the first time by combining two ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy techniques. They think their approach could ...

Seven years ago, astronomers at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and their colleagues were wrestling with a dilemma. The Hitomi spacecraft promised to unpack secrets of the highest-energy ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...
