Albert A. Michelson
Albert A. Michelson (1851 - 1931) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1907 for his optical precision instruments and the research he carried out in the fields of precision metrology and ...
Lasers find distant hidden explosives
Scientists can use lasers to find explosives in containers from a distance. They rely on using spectroscopy from the light scattered back. This is similar to the process they use to test the quality ...

Curiosity Mars rover blasts first rock with laser
The Curiosity rover conducts its first analysis of the chemical composition of rocks on Mars by firing a laser at rocks. The laser uses spectroscopy to measure what the rock is made of.
