Every rock on Earth is a time capsule, holding traces of our planet from when the minerals first formed. Consider a smidge of 164-million-year-old clay, says M. Joseph Pasterski, an organic geochemist ...

NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique that is ideally suited to the characterization and analysis of a diverse array of chemical compounds. Unlike many other analytical techniques, NMR spectroscopy ...

Scientists have achieved a major milestone in the quest to understand high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials. Using electron tunneling spectroscopy under high pressure, the ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...
