Detecting cancer during its early stages, that is, before it spreads to other parts of the body, almost always leads to better treatment outcomes and lower mortality rates. However, for people without ...

Before arriving to the USA in 1998, Dr. Leonid Zubkov worked at the Optical laboratory of the Department of Physics at St. Petersburg University in Russia as a Professor of Physics. His major research ...

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...
