Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real ...

During LIBS analysis, a focused pulsed laser bombards the sample removing a tiny amount of material from the surface. Similarly, during a typical one-second measurement, the sample is struck by ...

Delving into the intricacies of waste management, researchers explore the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technology for the identification and classification of recyclable waste.

The research team of the State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy at East China Normal University has made significant progress in the field of ultra-fast laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy ...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of atomic emission spectroscopy that uses a laser to vaporize or ablate a microscopic layer of a sample’s surface. The resultant plasma caused by ...

Here at Hackaday, we love projects that result in useful lab equipment for a fraction of the cost of professional gear. [Lorenz], over at Advanced Tinkering, built his own instrument for Laser-Induced ...

ORNL’s tandem technologies detect fluorine and isotopes of uranium at the same time to discern the fingerprint of a nuclear material made for fuel or weaponry. Combining two techniques, analytical ...

Researchers recently demonstrated a novel technique: plasma-grating-induced breakdown spectroscopy (GIBS). Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis tool. A powerful ...
