Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Atoms never stay still. Even in their lowest energy state, they vibrate due to quantum effects. Now, for the first time, scientists have directly observed this jittery movement in a complex ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University experts in the College of Science and Rosen Center for Advanced Computing have launched Molecular Intelligence, a software company whose solutions help ...

Discover why surface chemistry matters and how XPS imaging modes enable deeper insight into materials performance.
