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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a versatile technique in the biomedical field, but its application to the study of plant metabolism in vivo remains challenging. A research team reports the ...

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 ...

NMR Spectroscopy Principles, Interpreting an NMR Spectrum and Common Problems In this article, we consider how nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy works, what it tells you and how it is used.

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 ...

In a significant advancement for lab-on-chip technology, IBEC researchers in the frame of the European project BLOC, have ...

Since those early days, NMR spectroscopy progressed concurrently with advances in many other fields, such as mathematics, physics and informatics. In the 1960s, the implementation of superconducting ...
