We present here the first experimental study of the microwave spectrum of deuterated 5-methyltropolone, a molecule which exhibits two large-amplitude motions: an intramolecular hydrogen transfer (deuterium transfer in the current case of deuterated 5

The atomic force microscope (AFM) offers a rich observation window on the nanoscale, yet many dynamic phenomena are too fast and too weak for direct detection, urging measurement innovation. Integrated cavity-optomechanics is revolutionizing

An efficient synthesis of dibenzo[a,l]tetracene (1) and dibenzo[a,j]tetracene (2) has been developed using Diels-Alder reaction of in situ generated ortho-quinodimethane with phenanthrene-1,4-dione, followed by reductive aromatization as key steps. This

High-precision measurements of radiocarbon (14C) near or below a fraction modern 14C of one (F14C ≤ 1) are costly, requiring the shipment of samples to accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) facilities that specialize in reporting rare isotope relative

The structural polymorphism in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provides exciting opportunities for developing advanced electronics. For example, MoTe2 crystallizes in the 2H semiconducting phase at ambient temperature and pressure, but transitions

Spectroscopic studies of planetary atmospheres and high-temperature processes (e.g. combustion) require absorption lineshape models that are accurate over extended temperature ranges. To date, advanced lineshapes, like the speed-dependent Voigt and Rautian

The number of elements in most cryogenic sensor arrays is limited by the technology available to multiplex signals from the array into a smaller number of wires and readout amplifiers. The largest demonstrated arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES)

Two-dimensional (2D) layered hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite semiconductors form natural ‘multiple quantum wells' that possess strong spin-orbit coupling due to the heavy elements in their building blocks. This may lead to ‘Rashba-splitting'

We demonstrate a new technique for spatial mapping of multiple atmospheric gas species. This system is based on high-precision dual-comb spectroscopy to a retroreflector mounted on a flying multicopter. We measure the atmospheric absorption over long open
Multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) has become an extremely versatile and sensitive technique for elucidating the structure, composition, and dynamics of condensed matter, atomic, and molecular systems. The appeal of MDCS lies in its ability to
