Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.This perspective surveys emerging quantum and classical photonic applications across operating wavelengths and timescales, highlighting persistent technological gaps in integrated light sources. We examine the unique advantages of quadratic nonlinear photonics on the thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and discuss strategies for realizing ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Atomic absorption spectrometry—AAS
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 2206-2224, May 2026.Abstract Elements absorb electromagnetic radiation (light) of a specific wavelength in proportion to the number of atoms in its path. As the atoms absorb this light energy, electrons rise from the ground state to an excited state. In atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), high temperatures produce clouds of atoms from the sample (atomization) and ...

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.This study combines quantum chemical calculations and high‐resolution Penning ionization electron spectroscopy in helium nanodroplets to investigate NaCl microhydration. It reveals the transition from contact to solvent‐separated ion pairs and quantifies hydration shell completion at about 34 water molecules.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer mission launched in February of 2025 with the goal of characterizing lunar surface water through a targeted campaign. One instrument on the mission, the Lunar Thermal Mapper (LTM), was tasked with measuring the surface temperature to compare with maps of the form and abundance of water on the lunar surface.

Journal of Low Temperature PhysicsWe report on simulations of a novel design of optical titanium nitride (TiN)- based Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) in order to improve their response to optical photons. We propose to separate the meander from the substrate to trap hot phonons generated by optical photons, preventing their rapid propagation through the substrate.
