Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

The ability to measure mass to charge ratio of the ions in mass spectrum is the most important feature of the high-resolution mass spectrometers. An analyte's identification can be progressed further ...

Effective protein characterization depends on the precise isolation and fragmentation of peptide ions within the mass spectrometer, typically coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS). In a ...

Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions by ionizing chemical compounds to produce charged molecules. A typical mass spectrometer consists of three parts: a detector, a mass ...

Nanomaterials have become widely used in several applications across industry and research, such as chemical synthesis, catalysis, anti-bacterial coatings, many others. Many of the physical properties ...

In Star Trek, Mr. Spock’s hand-held tricorder can instantly tell what something is made of. We don’t have tricorders yet, but we’re getting close. Portable devices just a little too big to hold in one ...
