Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

A reengineered mass spectrometer prototype can now analyze up to a billion molecules simultaneously, a leap from conventional instruments that handle only a few at a time. The advance, reported in ...

Just how far mass spectrometry—the use of tools measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample—has progressed over the past century can be seen in a new exhibit ...

In Star Trek, Mr. Spock’s hand-held tricorder can instantly tell what something is made of. We don’t have tricorders yet, but we’re getting close. Portable devices just a little too big to hold in one ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­— Imagine if diagnosis and treatment for devastating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease could be developed quickly by extensive profiling of protein signatures in human tissues.

MX908 is a multi-mission handheld mass spectrometer for real-time chemical detection and identification, utilized by elite responders conducting chemical, explosive, priority drug and HazMat ...

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Chilai from Institute of Intelligent machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed the deep-sea mass ...

Material engineering involves the creation and design of inventive materials, blending principles from chemistry, physics, and engineering. Mass spectrometry emerges as a vital tool in material ...

If you have ever thought, “I wish I could have a mass spectrometer at home,” then we aren’t very surprised you are reading Hackaday. [Thomas Scherrer] somehow acquired a broken Brucker Microflex LT ...

Scientists at The Rockefeller University have built a prototype mass spectrometer that can process over a billion molecules at once, a staggering jump from the handful that conventional instruments ...
