Coordinated Vibrations Between Hydrogen-Bonded Molecules Visualized Using Ultrafast Femtosecond Infrared Light

Using a newly developed, ultrafast femtosecond infrared light source, chemists at the University of Chicago have been able to directly visualize the coordinated vibrations between hydrogen-bonded molecules -- the first time this sort of chemical interaction, which is found in nature everywhere at the molecular level, has been directly visualized. They describe their experimental techniques and observations in The Journal of Chemical Physics, from AIP Publishing.

Micro-Nano Porous Materials Improve Thermoelectrics for Harvesting Wasted Heat

From your hot car to your warm laptop, every machine and device in your life wastes a lot of energy through the loss of heat. But thermoelectric devices, which convert heat to electricity and vice versa, can harness that wasted heat, and possibly provide the green tech energy efficiency that's needed for a sustainable future.

Gold Plating Technique Combined with Electroforming Increases Sensitivity of Infrared Gas Sensors

A new process that combines a gold plating technique developed for the Space Program's YAG Laser Pump Cavities with the age-old manufacturing technique of electroforming, is now dramatically increasing the sensitivity of infrared gas analyzers and sensors—products that have long used infrared light to detect CO, CO2 and many other trace gases in the atmosphere. At the heart of many of these designs is an IR gas cell sometimes called a light-pipe.
