Mass spectrometry is a key workhorse technique in analytical sciences. Waters has released a multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) mass spectrometry platform to deliver improved resolution with short acquisition speeds.
MIT researchers have developed a Raman microspectroscopy method for observing the chemistry of cement mixing with water in real-world conditions and in real-time. The breakthrough paves the way for improving the environmental impact of concrete, which leads to 8% of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
