The correct identification of all gases released during hybrid perovskite degradation is of
great significance to develop strategies to extend the lifespan of any device based on this …

The exclusive presence of β-D-ribofuranose in nucleic acids is still a conundrum in prebiotic
chemistry, given that pyranose species are substantially more stable at equilibrium …

The conformational behaviour of isolated D-glucose has been revealed in this work using
Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy coupled with laser ablation of crystalline α-and β …

The sensitivity limitations of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for the detection
of molecular clusters formed in rarefied gas expansions can be overcome by synchronizing …

Conformational flexibility is intrinsically related to the functionality of biomolecules.
Elucidation of the potential energy surface is thus a necessary step towards understanding …

In the past decade, astrochemistry has witnessed an impressive increase in the number of
detections of complex organic molecules. Some of these species are of prebiotic interest …

Fructose has been examined under isolation conditions using a combination of UV ultrafast
