Chemists have found a way to shorten the time needed to obtain molecular structure imaging information from solid-state NMR. They've also found a way to use smaller imaging samples to obtain spectral ...

Batteries based on lithium now power everything from our watches to our cars, and we’ve made major strides towards stuffing more energy into them more quickly over the last several years. But there ...

From Richard Ernst's Nobel prize-winning techniques to hyperpolarisation and in-situ battery analysis, nuclear magnetic ...

Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have demonstrated that diamonds may hold the ...

It's sometimes hard to remember that all of biology ultimately arises from basic chemical properties, largely the properties of proteins. To really understand what's happening in a biological system, ...

Please give an introduction to the roles you carry out at Cape Breton University. I'm a Senior Chemistry Lab instructor at Cape Breton University, as well as a Transmission Electron Microscope ...

Understanding the inner workings of biology or materials science requires both structural and chemical knowledge, but current analysis techniques have limits: They may require large sample sizes, ...

Microdiamonds with nitrogen vacancy centers are increasingly used as biological tracers thanks to the optical fluorescence of NV centers. But the NV centers also can be spin-polarized by low-power ...

Over the past 30 years, continuous progress in the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to the detection, diagnosis and ...

Adequate oxygen supply, uptake and utilization are essential for normal muscle activity and performance. For this reason, capillary proliferation must accompany normal skeletal muscle growth to ...

Seed germination, which is the essential first step toward crop establishment, begins with water uptake into the seedling. The term “seed imbibition” represents this process of water uptake and is ...

When doctors or scientists want to peer into living tissue, there’s always a trade-off between how deep they can probe and how clear a picture they can get. With light microscopes, researchers can see ...
