In 2009 researchers found an "ionization surprise" that defied explanation. Until that time, it had been commonly thought that the ionization of atoms by strong laser fields was well-understood, but ...

During the analysis of NH 3 in H 2 O gas streams, a big issue when trying to detect low NH 3 levels arises due to the spectral overlap between the m/z 17 of both NH 3 and water. The water background ...

What are the ionization techniques for mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry (MS) plays a vital role in many aspects of our lives, from diagnosing illness and detecting food contaminants to fighting ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

Digital Business Hacks, LLC, a fast-growing online business solutions company, today announced its expansion into the water ...

A group of scientists from the University of Ottawa has made important progress in their understanding of ionization, a basic ...

An air ionizer releases negative ions into the air. This helps particles clump together and land on a surface, which could be cleaned. Benefits include mold, bacteria, and virus prevention, among ...

Not all smoke detectors are equal, and the type of smoke detector installed in many homes might not sound off in all fires. Smoke alarm manufacturers sell alarms with two types of technology.

Ever been up in the mountains, at the beach, or in a thunderstorm and suddenly felt a huge change in your mood? That’s not just a feeling of awe. It might be negative ions. Negative ions are molecules ...
