Journal Highlight: DESIRS: a state-of-the-art VUV beamline featuring high resolution and variable polarization for spectroscopy and dichroism at SOLEIL

Date: Jul 9, 2012

Author: spectroscopyNOW

A new undulator-based VUV beamline on the 2.75 GeV storage ring SOLEIL has been developed for gas-phase studies of molecular and electronic structures, reactivity and polarization-dependent photodynamics.

Fold it: Origami kit simplifies testing

Date: Jul 1, 2012

Author: David Bradley

An origami-style test kit needs only a voltmeter for diagnostics rather than sophisticated instrumentation and could facilitate much simpler point-of-care and environmental analytics.

Anticancer tomatoes: UV reveals details of lycopene extract

Date: Jun 1, 2012

Author: David Bradley

UV-Vis spectroscopy and several other techniques have been used to characterise a lycopene extract from tomatoes. The extract has also been evaluated for its anticancer properties in laboratory mice.

Making unstickable adhesives: Mussel power

Date: May 1, 2012

Author: David Bradley

UV and NMR spectroscopy have been used to characterise a novel adhesive that functions in marine environments by mimicking the notoriously strong, natural glue used by mussels to cling to rocks and ships' hulls.

Journal Highlight: Synthesis of novel blue-light-emitting polypyridine

Date: Apr 30, 2012

Author:

A new regioregular head-to-tail-type polypyridine with methoxyethoxyethoxy side chains that was synthesized by Kumada-Tamao coupling polymerization of a Grignard monomer emitted strong blue light when dissolved in chloroform and irradiated with UV light.

In recognition of chirality: Ultraviolet probe

Date: Apr 1, 2012

Author: David Bradley

Identifying the chirality of a compound in the gas phase using light is difficult because of the low particle densities present. However, collision-free conditions could lead to highly sensitive analytical applications as well as allowing researchers to unravel fundamental aspects of the way light interacts with matter

Journal Highlight: Laser tissue welding analyzed using fluorescence, Stokes shift spectroscopy, and Huang-Rhys parameter

Date: Mar 12, 2012

Author:

Near infrared continuous-wave laser radiation was used to weld porcine aorta and skin samples and the fluorescence spectra were measured for the key native molecules collagen, elastin and tryptophan in welded and non-welded tissues to differentiate the Huang-Rhys parameter values of the chromophores.

Journal Highlight: Dating bloodstains with fluorescence lifetime measurements

Date: Feb 13, 2012

Author:

A highly reproducible correlation has been established between the fluorescence lifetime and the age of a bloodstain, using dog blood as a model, which was related to the alteration of tryptophan, the major endogenous fluorophore in blood proteins.
