Refractive Solutions announces launch of refractive index liquids and immersion oils for laboratory and microscopy use, with shipments expected in early 2026. Reliable refractive index data depends on ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Ten years ago, research on ionic liquids was a relatively unknown backwater of chemistry. Few chemists were familiar with these low-melting-point salts that have negligible vapor pressure, and barely ...

The applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry for the precise characterization of liquid-liquid and liquid-air interfaces include surface science, biomedical applications, thin film coatings, and ...

On-chip refractive-index monitors suit industrial process control and biodetection, as the UK company seeks commercialization partners. Winning venture capital (VC) funding is a major milestone for ...

Scientists have developed the first flat lens for immersion microscopy. This lens, which can be designed for any liquid, may provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to the ...

Austin, Texas — Adopting immersion lithography appears at this point to be nearly pain-free: Just add water and, voil, those 193-nanometer tools can be pushed well past their expected life. But taking ...
