A new quantum sensor can analyze the full spectrum of radio frequency and real-world signals, unleashing new potentials for soldier communications, spectrum awareness and electronic warfare. Army ...

OUR knowledge of the structure of very fine spectrum lines is now on a secure and nearly comprehensive basis, from the points of view of both theory and of experiment, and it is very remarkable that ...

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 ...

This image shows (a) the Nature magazine cover; (b) the single atom X-ray mechanism; (c) a supramolecular ring with one iron atom; (d) X-ray spectra of one iron atom; (e) a terbium dimer complex; (f) ...

Transitions between different electronic energy levels in elements occur at unique energies and intensities, giving each element a distinctive emission spectrum. When the energy of an incident photon ...
