Hank Hogan

To the connoisseur’s standard methods of testing wine using taste, smell and sight, scientists are adding another: mid-infrared spectroscopy. A team from Hardy Wine Co. of Reynella and from the Australian Wine Research Institute of Glen Osmond, both in Australia, has developed a technique to fingerprint wine rapidly by obtaining its mid-infrared spectrum. A goal of the research is to develop an easy and accurate wine monitor. Such a tool would detect dilution by water, for example. Hardy Wine senior research chemist Christopher J. Bevin noted that it is a rare event when the quality of a...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
