| Abstract | With support from the Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor David Patterson of the University of California, Santa Barbara will develop tools capable of identifying the exact structure of a single, trapped molecule. This includes not only determining the molecule’s chemical formula but also its handedness (chirality). Many molecules, including most found in biological systems, exist in left- and right-handed forms, much like left- and right-handed glove |
