X-Ray Spectroscopy Used to Evaluate Atomic Behavior Within Molecules

2 weeks ago | azooptics.com | Laura Thomson

An international team of researchers evaluated these dynamics using X-ray spectroscopy, which enables them to examine how individual atoms behave within a molecule, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. In aqueous systems, proton transfer is a basic process that occurs everywhere. A proton is lost by a molecule, which then joins forces with another molecule.
