Study evaluates Inland Empire transgender and gender nonconforming patients’ experiences

Focus groups led by University of California, Riverside, scientists that examined the healthcare experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming, or TGNC, people living in California’s Inland Empire have found that this community often encounters obstacles that are unique and not faced by most other patients. The 20 TGNC people — 13 male, three female, and four...

Will Brillouin spectroscopy become as indispensable for science as Raman spectroscopy?

Raman spectroscopy, which measures the energy of crystal lattice vibrations in the Terahertz frequency range, has become essential for advanced scientific research and practical applications. In the physical sciences, Raman spectroscopy helps determine the crystalline quality of materials and identify the phase transitions. Airport security uses Raman spectroscopy to distinguish sugar powder from cocaine, which...
