On the cover of J Chem Phys:
A collaboration between the Brouard and Vallance groups and the University of Aarhus has been featured on the cover of the Journal of Chemical Physics. The paper describes how gas-phase structural isomers can be identified and distinguished by the process of Coulomb explosion imaging, and indicates that this method could be applied to a much broader class of molecules than has previously been studied. This research was made possible by the use of a fast ion imaging sensor, the Pixel Imaging Mass Spectrometry camera, that was developed by Oxford Chemistry, Oxford Physics, and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
