Understanding the mechanisms that govern the photoreactivity of biomolecules
Two teams from the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) and the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) have developed an experiment aiming at characterizing fragments issued from UV photodissociation of trapped isolated ions, by recording their vibrational spectrum. This work opens the way to the study of the photofragmentation mechanisms in many other complex systems such as peptides.
These results have been published in J. Phys. Chem. Letters

SILICON DOES NOT LOSE MEMORY" : The storage of an atomic ’bit’ can be reversibly controlled on a single silicon atom
For the first time , physicists from the Institute for Molecular Sciences of Orsay - ISMO ( CNRS / University Paris -Sud) , Laboratory of Materials and Quantum Phenomena - MPQ (CNRS / University Paris Diderot), Institute Materials Science of Mulhouse and the Institut Jean Lamour were able to control the state of charge of a single silicon atom without having to electronically isolate it from the substrate.
These results have been published in Physical Review B

Cometary nitrogen provides new information on the solar system origin
A group of researchers from UTINAM Institute (CNRS / Université de Franche-Comté), Synchrotron SOLEIL, ISMO laboratory (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) and the University of Liège have just published the first detection of the 15NH2 radical from cometary emission in the visible spectral range.
This detection was an observational challenge and helps to understand the origins of nitrogen-bearing molecules in comets and other solar system objects.
These results have been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters

Watching the heart beat of molecules
In a recent publication in Nature, researchers from the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay (France) report on a new method of rapidly identifying different molecular species under a microscope, with coherent Raman spectro-imaging with laser frequency combs technique.
