This visual system has 0.1 nanometer (an angstrom) resolution. They merge the images at several different vibration modes to generate the image with the chemical structure. Arxiv has the full article.

It's not easy to be sure that drugs and supplements with twisted -- or chiral -- structures are turning in the correct direction. Now, twirling infrared light can probe both the structures of ...

Scientists have long known that a molecule's behavior depends on its environment. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, a group of researchers at the University of Chicago developed a new technique to ...

Researchers have developed a technique that uses the vibration of chemical bonds to produce specific colors that allow them to simultaneously observe, in cells and tissues, as many as 24 interacting ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

A molecule adsorbed on a surface (Figure 1A) vibrates on the surface (Figure 1B). The vibration energy is determined by the mass of the molecule and by the restoring forces exerted on the molecule.

Researchers use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in a diverse range of scientific domains to explore the characteristics of organic molecules. The inherent magnetic characteristics of ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

WITHIN the past few months there have appeared several papers on band spectra containing results of great theoretical significance. Taken in connexion with the data given in my letter to NATURE of ...

For over a century, our sense of smell has been explained with the “lock and key” hypothesis, which holds that each odor molecule has a particular shape that allows it to fit into particular smell ...
