HutzlerThe authors demonstrate a method for high-resolution spectroscopy of excited vibrational states of molecules without the need for optical cycling, and apply it to measure the A(100) - X(300) band in YbOH. The method, whose sensitivity could be further improved, should have broad utility for molecular laser cooling, and applications that make use of excited vibrational states such as searches for fundamental symmetry violations, searches for ultralight dark matter, etc. [Phys.

16:43 Phys.org Scientists reveal molecular structure of bacterial gas vesicles

Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the Departments of Bionanoscience and Imaging Physics now describe the molecular structure of these vesicles for the first time. These gas vesicles were also recently repurposed as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging.

Infrared spectroscopy is a noninvasive tool used to identify unknown samples and known chemical substances. It is based on how different molecules interact with infrared light. You may have seen this tool at airports, where they screen for illicit drugs. The technique has many applications: liquid biopsy, environmental gas monitoring, contaminant detection, forensic analyses, exoplanet searches, etc.
