The explosive growth of electric vehicles, renewable energy integration, and large-scale energy storage systems has placed lithium-ion batteries at the heart of the global transition to sustainable ...

When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region ...

The world’s largest spectroscopic telescope has just recorded the first observations from its new perch high in the mountains of Chile. Capable of revealing new information about any cosmic object or ...

Researchers have found that 2D materials can self-form microscopic cavities that trap light and electrons, altering their quantum behavior. With a miniaturized terahertz spectroscope, the team ...

In the right combinations and conditions, two-dimensional materials can host intriguing and potentially valuable quantum phases, like superconductivity and unique forms of magnetism. Why they occur, ...

In many a school auditorium, a theater kid could be spotted sitting cross-legged with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, surrounded by peers who had just belted their way through the entire Hamilton ...

Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is a highly sensitive, non-destructive method for probing atomic-scale imperfections in a broad spectrum of materials, from metals and ceramics to polymers and ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

The first half of 2025 saw the release of a flurry of new mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, prompting many to ask: What’s new? And what sets these new instruments apart? So, we thought we would ...

In this interview, Dr. Suja Sukumaran explores the significance, versatility, and future advancements of FTIR spectroscopy, highlighting its pivotal role in material analysis, quality control, and ...
