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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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: ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Plasma Solutions, the leader in Indoor Air Quality, announced today industry-leading ionization testing results, demonstrating a 99.4% reduction rate on a SARS ...

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 ...

This detailed overview explains the technical mechanisms of LC-MS proteomics, including peptide separation, ion generation, ...
