New Laser Technique Shows Smog-Forming Effects of Nitrophenol in Air
New Laser Technique Shows Smog-Forming Effects of Nitrophenol in Air Written by AZoOpticsFeb 4 2021 A new, sophisticated laser-based technique has enabled scientists to observe the live decomposition of a pollutant into atmospheric nitrous acid, which plays an essential role in the development of photochemical smog and ozone. Extreme ultraviolet femtosecond pulse light source and photoelectron spectrometer, key instruments used in the experiment. Image Credit: Taro Sekikawa. As explained by Hokkaido University scientists in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, the new technique could f...
