Researchers have developed a new technique called two-dimensional electronic-vibrational spectroscopy that can be used to study the interplay between electrons and atomic nuclei during a photochemical ...

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 ...

Electronic spectroscopy offers a window into the electronic structure of molecules by probing transitions between quantised energy states, while vibrational dynamics characterises the way atoms within ...

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, ...

Researchers increased by a 100-fold the measurement rate of Raman spectroscopy, a common technique for measuring the 'vibrational fingerprint' of molecules in order to identify them. As the ...

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Single molecule Raman spectroscopy of molecules on metal surfaces was achieved by means of optical field-enhancement from a scanning probe tip. This was made possible by the ...

The development of lasers that emit light faster than nuclei move allowed scientists to make real-time observations of chemical reactions. Initial experiments used a ‘pump–probe’ technique: a first ...

Red light stop: The experiment uses multiple frequencies of light to cool the CaOH atoms to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. (Courtesy: John Doyle) Physicists in the US have created ...
