Wyatt CEO receives 2009 prize for Industrial Application of Physics
Dr. Philip J. Wyatt, the CEO and founder of Wyatt Technology Corporation (Santa Barbara, California) has been awarded the 2009 Prize for Industrial Application of Physics by the American Physical Society (APS).
Dr. Philip J. Wyatt, the CEO and founder of Wyatt Technology Corporation (Santa Barbara, California) has been awarded the 2009 Prize for Industrial Application of Physics by the American Physical Society (APS).
By leading the commercialization of laser light scattering, a technology of practical importance for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as numerous academic research programmes, Dr. Wyatt has been selected to receive the prize to acknowledge industrial applications of physics with an intention to publicize the value of physics for industrial development. Dr. Wyatt was the sole award recipient selected by the committee from five finalists of the 16 preliminary nominations. The prize will be presented at the APS March 2009 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
Altering Capillary Gas Chromatography Systems Using Silicon Pneumatic Microvalves
May 5th 2025Many multi-column gas chromatography systems use two-position multi-port switching valves, which can suffer from delays in valve switching. Shimadzu researchers aimed to create a new sampling and switching module for these systems.
