Ion ejection from charged helium nanodroplets exposed to intense femtosecond soft X-ray pulses is studied by single-pulse ion time-of-flight (TOF) spectroscopy in coincidence with small-angle X-ray scattering. Scattering images encode the droplet size and ...
The last decades have been punctuated by the development of revolutionary analytical technologies that have enabled the analysis of biomolecular structures and unraveled the roles they play in biological systems. However, certain classes of biomolecules re ...
The characterization of biomolecules plays a central role in biomedical research. The development of state-of-the-art technologies is needed to make such analyses faster, more sensitive, and more accurate. While mass spectrometry continues to play a centra ...
Identification of isomeric biomolecules remains a challenging analytical problem. A recently developed spectroscopic method that combines UV photofragmentation and mass spectrometry for fingerprinting of cold ions (2D UV-MS), has already demonstrated its h ...
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool used to infer detailed structural information on molecules, often in conjunction with quantum-chemical calculations. When applied to cryogenically cooled ions, IR spectra provide unique fingerprints that can be ...
The main objective of this PhD thesis is to link the atomic scale structure to the catalytic properties of self-assembled nanostructures. The growth and characterization of these nanostructures was carried out in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber initiall ...
Skin problems are often overlooked due to a lack of robust and patient-friendly monitoring tools. Herein, we report a rapid, noninvasive, and high-throughput analytical chemical methodology, aiming at real-time monitoring of skin conditions and early detec ...
