In a recently published article in the Journal of Applied Physics, Dr. William Griffith, an assistant professor of chemistry at East Texas Baptist University, announced the discovery of a new electromagnetic wave technology, tentatively referred to as “3D TAP.”
What makes the newly discovered technology different than other processes is its ability to analyze a sample immediately without interfering with the sample. “Analytical instruments have used electromagnetic waves for analysis now for decades in regard to reflection, refraction, and absorption,” said Dr. Griffith, “but the weaknesses of these instruments, however, require light to pass through the material or reflect. Sample material must typically be in a gas or liquid state or suspended in transparent material. The 3D TAP does not require either of these.”Learn more from ETBU.
