Optical solitons often combine into pairs with very short temporal separation. Introducing atomic vibrations in the terahertz range, researchers have solved the puzzle of how these temporal links are ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In the same way that a church bell resonates after it’s struck, the molecules that comprise the world around us vibrate in specific patterns. These tiny tremors, invisible to the naked ...

The development of high-performance organic LEDs and other devices that emit near-infrared light has been hindered by seemingly fundamental features of the light-emitting molecules. A potential ...

It's not easy to be sure that drugs and supplements with twisted -- or chiral -- structures are turning in the correct direction. Now, twirling infrared light can probe both the structures of ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...

The cell is grown on a Si-C-Membrane and embedded in its liquid medium. The tip of the s-SNOM detects vibrations, probed by Infrared-Light from BESSY II. Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II ...

Fig. 1. (a) Localized electron in a polar liquid. The scheme shows the probability density of a localized electron (contour) in an environment of solvent molecules with an electric dipole moment. (b) ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, ...
