A polyatomic ion that was thus far inaccessible with conventional mass spectroscopy has now been uncovered using extremely short laser pulses. Catching a glimpse of this ion would open up new ...

Figure 1: The yields of nitrite ions, hydroxyl radicals, and photons from a single cavitating bubble at 52 kHz in a 15-ml glass cell at 3 °C. Figure 2: SBSL spectra of water collected at 52 ...

In the chemistry of interstellar clouds, the three-atomic hydrogen ion plays a key role. In these reactions, also simple organic molecules form. Although H3+ is the simplest polyatomic molecular ...
