The process of radiation or particles bouncing backward, used as a measurement technique in physics and materials science.
Present participle of 'backscatter' formed with '-ing'. Primarily used in technical and scientific contexts.
Backscattering spectroscopy can identify individual atoms in a material by their unique 'signature' bounce patterns—it's so sensitive that scientists can detect a single layer of gold atoms (about 2 nanometers) on a silicon wafer.
