During the analysis of NH 3 in H 2 O gas streams, a big issue when trying to detect low NH 3 levels arises due to the spectral overlap between the m/z 17 of both NH 3 and water. The water background ...

In 2009 researchers found an "ionization surprise" that defied explanation. Until that time, it had been commonly thought that the ionization of atoms by strong laser fields was well-understood, but ...

The QTOF‐GCMS instrument integrates the excellent mass accuracy of the quadrupole time‐of‐flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer with the proven gas phase chromatography techniques. 1 Da (mass accuracy in ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

A group of scientists from the University of Ottawa has made important progress in their understanding of ionization, a basic physics process that affects several disciplines, such as plasma physics ...

Fifty-two unanticipated rain showers in a Middle Eastern desert supposedly occurred because of ionizing devices installed in Abu Dhabi as part of a weather-modification project, a company is claiming.
