From skim milk to cosmetic products to semiconductors, the importance of understanding and characterizing nanometer-sized materials and their applications has never been more necessary. Among the various techniques and applications used to characterize materials on the nanometer scale,
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS), or Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) – this technique goes by many names, but what does it measure, how is it measured, and what do the results mean? From John Tyndall’s
