Protonated methane, a.k.a. CH5+, is a highly unusual molecule that scientists and astronomers suspect may be found within the interstellar medium where stars and planets are formed. To identify ...

The researchers prepared a Be⁺-HD⁺ two-component ion Coulomb crystal at millikelvin temperatures in a linear ion trap. They developed an innovative quantum state preparation and spatially resolved ...

Using sophisticated measurement methods based on near-field optical microscopy, an interdisciplinary research team at the Institute for Molecular Science led by Jun Nishida (Assistant Prof.) and ...

Raman spectroscopy is a type of vibrational spectroscopy that relies on Raman scattering to deduce the vibrational, rotational and other low-frequency modes of different molecules. Once the ...

Vibrational spectroscopy is a high-performance analytical technique commonly used in chemistry, materials science, biology, and environmental research. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is the most ...
