The study of vibrational spectroscopy, coupled with detailed potential energy surface (PES) modelling, has transformed our understanding of molecular dynamics and interaction mechanisms. By probing ...

Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, ...

A nanoscale spectroscopy technique reveals the orientation of surface-bound molecules with sub-nanometer precision by confining light in a near-field region between a scanning probe and substrate.

According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

Each molecule has its own unmistakable tone – a vibrational “fingerprint” that reflects not only its chemical structure but also the nanoscale environment around it. But the voices of individual ...

The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume. The vibrations change the diameter of this sphere periodically for more ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy could enable the production of high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and cell organelles. A new study from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt ...

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...
