Biosensor Combines Thermal and Optical Methods to Detect Coronavirus
Research labs that measure and analyze airborne pollutants have a new focus — to develop a sensor that can detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The team of professor Jing Wang, who leads the Air Quality and Particle Technology group at ETH Zurich and a group at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), has developed an optical biosensor that uses thermal effects to detect the virus safely and reliably.

Raman Spectroscopy: Theory, Practice, and Applications
Wed, May 6, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Hamamatsu Corp., will review the basic theory behind normal, resonant, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. It will discuss the hardware required in a working Raman spectrometer; describe data analysis and presentation; and give examples of common applications. In addition, it will examine some of the market challenges and solutions.

Ellipsometry: What Is It and What Can It Do for You?
Wed, May 13, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Spectroscopic ellipsometry is a nondestructive technique that uses polarized light to probe a sample. In this webinar, presented by the J.A. Woollam Co., you will learn about the fundamental principles of ellipsometry, how these principles lead to highly accurate measurements of coating thickness and optical properties, and how ellipsometry measurements compare to other characterization techniques.
