Metabolomics has been a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field with ever increasing demand and usability, attracting a surge of new researchers. While their varied skill sets, questions, and approaches enrich the field with fresh perspectives and
Vibrational spectroscopies are pivotal in analytical methods and biomedical diagnostics owing to their singular ability to provide molecular specificity. Yet, they are intrinsically limited by weak light-matter interactions and their vulnerability to
The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a widely studied hybrid classical-quantum algorithm for approximating ground-state energies in molecular and materials systems. This study benchmarks the performance of the VQE for calculating ground-state
The Joint Automated Repository for Various Integrated Simulations (JARVIS) is a unified platform for multiscale, multimodal, forward, and inverse materials design. It integrates diverse theoretical and experimental approaches, including density functional

This paper presents a new wide-ranging reference correlation for the viscosity of argon, incorporating recent ab initio dilute gas calculations and critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with a high-accuracy
Size-exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle static light scattering (SEC/MALS) is a combined separation and detection technique that is principally used for determining the molar mass of natural and synthetic macromolecules and colloidal

We present important aspects of uranium particle age dating by Large-Geometry Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (LG-SIMS) that can introduce bias and increase model age uncertainties, especially for small, young, and/or low-enriched particles. This metrology

In this work, we investigate the generalizability of problem-specific machine-learning models for catalysis across different datasets and adsorbates, and examine the potential of unified models as pre-screening tools for density functional theory
Forensic and commercial laboratories rely on well-characterized analytical methods to accurately determine total tetrahydrocannabinol (total THC), which is the sum of decarboxylated tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9

A new thermodynamic model is presented, capable of accurately representing the vapour-liquid equilibrium pressures and densities of dissociating dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4 ⇄ 2NO2). The model is based on the Peng-Robinson equation of state coupled with
The interplay of interactions between aqueous ions and the confinement of subnanoscale pores in solid 2D membranes causes a range of barrier-limited phenomena, including selective ion trapping and permeation, mechanosensitive transport, and memristive

Our earlier work demonstrated that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a viable technique for in situ analysis of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) of fluid mixtures and that inserting a capillary into the NMR sample tube allows the simultaneous
Rationale: Wildlife scientists are quantifying steroid hormones in a growing number of tissue types and employing novel methods which must undergo validation before application. This study tested the accuracy and precision of liquid chromatography-tandem
