Rotational spectroscopy exploits the absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation by molecules as they undergo transitions between quantised rotational energy levels. When applied to molecular ...

Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that helps to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. It involves using muons—subatomic particles similar to protons but with ...

A research team led by Prof. Gao Xiaoming at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently ...

Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...

Faraday rotation spectroscopy (FRS) enables the detection of paramagnetic molecules by detecting changes in the polarization state of the linearly polarized light caused by a gaseous medium immersed ...

The chirality of a molecule refers to its basic structure: Some molecules, so-called enantiomers, occur in pairs and are mirror images of each other. They differ in the way a left and a right glove do ...
