Experimental physics: A shift in spectroscopy

Frank K. Wilhelm1

Top

Spectroscopic measurement of the energy absorbed or emitted by an object is an invaluable experimental technique. An innovative approach opens the door to the acquisition of previously inaccessible data.

For researchers across the sciences, spectroscopy is the main tool for uncovering the energetic structure of their object of study. These data in turn provide a range of information about the object.
