Inkjet droplets of radioactive material enable quick, precise testing at NIST
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a technique called cryogenic decay energy spectrometry capable of detecting single radioactive decay events from tiny material samples and simultaneously identifying the atoms involved. In time, the technology could replace characterization tasks that have taken months and could support rapid, accurate radiopharmaceutical development and used nuclear fuel recycling, according to an article published on July 8 by NIST.

Applications of the properties of the laser to the various disciplines of chemistry, which have been somewhat late in coming and were overshadowed by the exciting uses in physics and engineering, are now numerous and quite promising. This review examines some of these applications, both realized and proposed, in the selected fields of chemical kinetics, photochemistry, and spectroscopy.
