Giacinto Scoles
Giacinto Scoles (2 April 1935 – 24 September 2024) was an Italian-American chemist and physicist who was best known for his pioneering development of molecular beam methods for the study of weak van der Waals forces between atoms, molecules, and surfaces. He developed the cryogenic bolometer as a universal detector of atomic and molecule beams that not only can detect a small flux of molecules, but also responds to the internal energy of the molecules. This is the basis for the optothermal spectroscopy technique which Scoles and others have used to obtain very high signal-to noise and high resolution ro-vibrational spectra. Life and career Scoles was born in Turin, Italy, and was raised there throughout the Second World War.
