The international maritime shipping industry contributes to air pollution, particularly in coastal areas and port cities. The ...

used a technique called mass spectrometry to identify and measure the levels of different amino acids—molecules that make up proteins—in them. As predicted from their RNA analysis, they detected high ...

When a corpse flower blooms, the pinky-purple spathe unfolds from an enormous yellow spadix that can grow to 3.7 meters (12 ...

The corpse flower is infamous for its rare blooms and its signature odor, which mimics the stench of rotting flesh.

Nitrogen and sulfur appeared to be absent, ruling out polyurethane or materials of a natural origin. Infrared spectroscopy ...

A new data-driven technique, called fingerprint mass spectrometry, provides a method for measuring the mass of individual proteins using nanoscale devices. Caltech scientists have developed a ...

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is routinely used in a laboratory setting for the characterization of drug powders. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has taken ...

A new study on titan arum -- commonly known as the corpse flower for its smell like rotting flesh -- uncovers fundamental genetic pathways and biological mechanisms that produce heat and odorous ...

Mass spectrometry is a common analytical tool scientists use to accomplish all sorts of molecular sleuthing. Start with a mysterious sample, ionize it (i.e., give it a charge by removing one or ...
