The field of molecular spectroscopy, which investigates the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and molecules, continues to advance our understanding of molecular structure, dynamics and ...

Mentor: Burcin Bayram, Ph.D. To model any quantum system, calculating the correct potential energy function is critically important for predicting its behavior. This is especially true in the realm of ...

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 ...

Liquids are more difficult to describe than gases or crystalline solids. Researchers have now mapped the potential energy surfaces of water molecules in liquid water under ambient conditions. The work ...

Developing a new, light-activated method to produce the molecule opens doors for future biomedical applications. Scientists from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have ...
