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 ...

Gas phase ion chemistry and mass spectrometry provide a powerful and versatile platform for investigating molecular structures, reaction mechanisms and ion‐molecule interactions in the gas phase.

The Chemistry Mass Spectrometry User Facility features a new Bruker AutofleX maX Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer. This instrument allows for ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State faculty member in the Department of Chemistry is the principal investigator of a $390,000 National Science Foundation grant to develop an optical spectrometer to ...

Mass spectrometry efficiently provides data related to the morphology and composition of functional composite materials. These attributes aid in the study of the physiochemical properties of composite ...

Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...

Elemental spectroscopy is a method employed to examine in-service fluid samples such as engine oil or hydraulic fluid, to determine the presence and quantity of different substances. This approach ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...

Some years ago, David Gehl made an unusual trip to Siberia. “I went to lots of sawmills and forests and came back from Russia and China with, like, 20 kg of wood boards on my back,” he recalls. Gehl ...
