A more notable feature of SFG spectroscopy is its surface specificity and absolute up/down molecular orientation sensitivity, allowing discrimination between up- and down-oriented molecular ...

We examine the role of electronic polarizability in water on short (tens of femtoseconds), intermediate (hundreds of femtoseconds), and long (≈1 ps) time scales by comparing molecular dynamics results ...

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 ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

Water is synonymous with life, but the dynamic, multifaceted interaction that brings H2O molecules together – the hydrogen bond – remains mysterious. Hydrogen bonds result when hydrogen and oxygen ...

Vibrational spectroscopy, a technique essential for analyzing chemical components in biological compounds, cells, organisms, tissues, and bioactivity products, plays a significant role in various ...

Like infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy is a type of vibrational spectroscopy. These similar methods have some differing qualities, as IR bands emerge due to alterations in the dipole ...

Raman spectroscopy is a molecular spectroscopy, which is observed as inelastically scattered light and enables the interrogation and identification of vibrational (phonon) states of molecules.

Spectroscopy isn’t just for scientists in lab coats—it’s a toolkit anyone can learn to use for uncovering the hidden architecture of molecules. By combining NMR, IR, and other techniques, chemists can ...
