Quantum spectroscopy of molecular vibrations harnesses quantum‐mechanical techniques to probe and characterise the vibrational energy levels of molecules. By combining high‐resolution infrared, Raman ...

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 ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of relying on radiation or chemicals, scientists now use finely tuned molecules ...

Getting a class of fluorescent synthetic dyes used for medical imaging to embed in the membranes of cancer cells and vibrate rapidly induces necrosis. With whole-molecule vibrations lasting for less ...

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, ...

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.

Scientists observed charge separation in a solar cell dye, driven by nuclear vibrations, not solvent effects, reshaping views on light-induced transport. (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells or in ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

Rice University scientists have discovered a way to make tiny vibrations, called phonons, interfere with each other more strongly than ever before. Using a special sandwich of silver, graphene, and ...

Electrons can be ‘kicked across’ solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered – challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...
