Vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as an indispensable tool for probing the molecular structures and bonding environments present throughout the cosmos. By measuring the vibrational transitions of ...

Raman spectroscopy is a form of vibrational spectroscopy that is used to observe changes in a molecule; these may be rotational, vibrational or some other form. It helps to understand the ...

Researchers led by Prof. ZHOU Wu from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides of Vanderbilt University have pushed the sensitivity of single-atom ...

Researchers have observed hydrogen and deuterium molecules in tiny spaces called picocavities using advanced spectroscopy. This study reveals unique differences between the molecules due to quantum ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

The simplest possible molecule H 2 + was one of the very first molecules to form in the cosmos. This makes it significant for astrophysics, but also an important object of research for fundamental ...

This theme focuses on infared and Raman analysis of tissue. This will include types of tissue but we would expect the focus to be predominantly on biopsy tissue. We are interested in new methodologies ...

A new spectroscopy technique reveals that pairs of gaseous water molecules form short-lived complexes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2021, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2020941118). “You might think, come on, ...

In confocal Raman microscopy, a Raman spectrometer is coupled to a standard optical microscope, which leads to a high magnification of the sample and subsequent Raman analysis. Combining Raman ...

Many organic compounds can be made as pairs of chemically distinct mirror images that function differently in biological systems. Because the physical properties of these enantiomers—called left- and ...

In this interview, AZoMaterials speaks with Dr. Sudhir Dahal and Hernan Sanchez about the latest advancements in battery technology. They discuss innovative approaches to battery failure analysis, ...
