They have developed a method of detecting the .pectrallines ­ the"chemical fingerprints" - of electrically charged molecules. The method, which opens up new fields of chemical analysis, was conceived by Professor Ron Brown in 1975. Success came last week with the detection by his team of the spectral line. of an electrically charged molecule of carbon monoxide. Chemists are able to determine the composition of substances by the established techniques of emission spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, or, where the energy emitted is in the microwave region of the spectrum, by microwave spectroscopy. All set for high-flying All are powerful methods of Today - August 1 - is Monash's chemical analysis, but they only work 13th Open Day and Modern Dance where the molecules are uncharged.
