Molecular ion spectroscopy and mass measurements constitute a dynamic field where experimental finesse meets rigorous theory to unravel fundamental aspects of molecular structure and interactions.

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

HD+ molecular ions (yellow and red dot pairs) in an ion trap (grey) are irradiated by a laser wave (red). This causes quantum jumps, whereby the vibrational state of the molecular ions changes. (Image ...

Scientists at EPFL have unraveled the mystery behind why biological nanopores, tiny molecular holes used in both nature and biotechnology, sometimes behave unpredictably. By experimenting with ...

Pore-forming proteins are found throughout nature. In humans, they play key roles in immune defense, while in bacteria they ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

A research team from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of ...

Molecular engineering of a zinc battery co-solvent improves plating stability, suppresses side reactions, and delivers near-perfect efficiency through a single functional group substitution. (Nanowerk ...

For the experiment, an intense femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse was employed to induce resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in 1,3-dibromopropane (1,3-DBP) molecules. The picosecond and ...
