    As of May 2025, 333 molecules are listed in the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy as having been detected in space. Of these molecules, there are oxygen-, nitrogen-, and metal bearing compounds, there are both neutrals and charged species as well as isomers and detection of these compounds are being made in a variety of environments. Thus, space is a rich and complex environment in...

    Raman spectroscopy is a powerful, non-invasive method to analyze molecular structure through the inelastic scattering of photons. Inside the broader framework of coherent Raman techniques, spontaneous Raman remains as a clinically accessible and versatile approach. The intrinsic vibrational modes of molecular bonds allow the identification of biochemical differences between components; these...

    Accurate and real-time detection of nitric oxide (NO) in plasma-assisted combustion systems is critical for optimizing burner performance and reducing NOx emissions. This work presents the development of a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLA) diagnostic for NO quantification in plasma-heated gas relevant to plasma burner environments.

    A tunable diode laser operating near 5060...

    Carbon based materials play crucial roles across environmental, industrial, and cosmic domains. In astrophysics, these particles are fundamental to interstellar dust, affecting light absorption, scattering, and emission processes essential for star formation, planetary evolution, and the cosmic dust cycle. Conversely, carbonaceous aerosols produced from the incomplete combustion of...

    Studies of the atomic spectra through resonant laser excitation provide access to the nuclear structures. Interactions of the nuclear ground state with the electronic shell induce small perturbations in the atomic level structure, known as the hyperfine structure (HFS) and the isotope shift (IS). Precise measurements of these effects permit the extraction of the nuclear properties like the...

    Three-dimensional electron and ion imaging spectrometry is used to study the dynamics of gas-phase cyclopropane after inner-shell electron excitation. Cyclopropane is the simplest cyclic hydrocarbon, C$_3$H$_6$. In this study, one particular dynamic is presented. The formation of a H$_3^+$ ion togheter with a C$_3$H$_3^+$ ion from the cyclopropane dication C$_3$H$_6^{2+}$. The formation of a...

    When molecules are placed in a non-classical photonic environment present in optical or nanoplasmonic cavities, it is possible to form strong light-matter-coupled hybrid states called polaritons. Recent experiments show that this strong coupling between light and matter is capable of modifying chemical and physical properties and offers a possible novel approach to control chemical reactions....

    Understanding protein motion within the cell is crucial for predicting reaction rates and macromolecular transport in the cytoplasm. A key question is how crowded environments affect protein dynamics through hydrodynamic and direct interactions at molecular length scales . Using megahertz X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (MHz-XPCS) at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL), based...

    The enhancement of radiotherapy efficacy through the introduction of high-Z atoms into cancerous tissues is a promising strategy for improving cancer treatment outcomes. A critical aspect of this strategy lies in understanding the complex molecular fragmentation that occurs following the initial ionization event. This presentation will cover recent advancements in this field, focusing on new...

    Laser-driven electron acceleration is a new and quickly spreading technology providing 10$^3$ to 10$^4$ times stronger accelerating fields than conventional radio-frequency accelerators. The size of the accelerators and the bunch duration of the electron pulses are correspondingly smaller/shorter, which is a strong motivation of their development. In our laboratory, a unique home-made 100 TW...

    Mutual neutralization (MN) is a fundamental electron-transfer process that occurs when oppositely charged ions collide, resulting in the formation of neutral products. The Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment (DESIREE) at Stockholm University offers a cryogenic, ultra-high vacuum environment with long ion storage times and a merged-beam geometry, that is ideal for high resolution MN...

    The carbon monoxide (CO) molecule is the most abundant polar molecule in the Universe. This makes it easy to detect, and it plays a big role in research on various environments, such as in the interstellar medium and in stellar as well as planetary atmospheres. The CO spectrum is extensively studied in laboratory experiments, as well as theoretically and computationally. With hydrogen and...
