Scientists at NPL, with the University of Surrey, University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute and IONTOF GmbH, have developed a technique to distinguish and map molecules that share the same chemical formula and mass but have different structures and functions. The research is published today (Oct. 19) in Nature Communications.
