Light has transformed technology in remarkable ways.
Each year on May 16th, we celebrate the anniversary of the first successful operation of the laser in 1960. But did you know that the history of light studies pioneers stretches back much further? 137 years ago, Michelson's interferometer was born—not as a spectroscopy tool, but for an entirely different purpose. Its heart now beats within every FT-IR spectrometer and more.
