Can a single, vibrating molecule act like an electromagnet?
In a recent article we postulate that molecular magnetic fields, created by a concerted excitation of two degnerate vibrational modes, may be controlled by infrared light. We chose phtalocyanine as our molecular template and make predictions for NMR chemical shifts which may serve as a tool for the experimental confirmation.
Stay tuned!

Coherent Sensing: The Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology is develops a novel UV broadband spectrometer that enables continuous real-time analysis of air pollutants and their interaction with other gases and sunlight.
