With the combination of in situ
synchrotron infrared spectroscopic measurements carried out at high pressure, and ab initio calculations on the ferromagnesite structure, it was possible to identify a unique vibrational signature present only in the high - pressure phase, and thus a new carbon - oxygen bond forms in ferromagnesite under pressure.
Hoi - Ying Holman, director of the Berkeley
Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) Program, has developed a technique using the Advanced Light Source to rapidly screen cells to tell if they're bacteria or archaea.
«The skin microbiome is usually dominated by bacteria,» said Hoi - Ying Holman, director of the Berkeley
Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) Program and a senior author on the paper.

A bright
synchrotron source that emits over a wide part of the electromagnetic spectrum from the
infrared to hard X-rays is currently being built in Lund, Sweden.
Reisz says his team's methods, called Raman spectroscopy and
synchrotron radiation Fourier transform
infrared microspectroscopy (SR - FTIR), can probe the chemical makeup of a sample without the need to purify it first, which lowers the risk of contamination.
Eric Dooryhee explains that a
synchrotron is an exceptionally powerful source of light (from x-rays to
infrared), which permits fast, sensitive experiments to be done without damage on minute samples of objects, using a range of analytical techniques and allowing measurements to be made below the surface.
The ESRF produces
synchrotron light with wavelengths ranging from gamma rays to
infrared radiation.
