Abstract

We present terahertz (THz) measurements of salt solutions that shed new light on the controversy over whether salts act as kosmotropes (structure makers) or chaotropes (structure breakers), which enhance or reduce the solvent order, respectively. We have carried out precise measurements of the concentration-dependent THz absorption coefficient of 15 solvated alkali halide salts around 85 cm(-1) (2.5 THz). In addition, we recorded overview spectra between 30 and 300 cm(-1) using a THz Fourier transform spectrometer for six alkali halides. For all solutions we found a linear increase of THz absorption compared to pure water (THz excess) with increasing solute concentration. These results suggest that the ions may be treated as simple defects in an H-bond network. They therefore cannot be characterized as either kosmotropes or chaotropes. Below 200 cm(-1), the observed THz excess of all salts can be described by a linear superposition of the water absorption and an additional absorption that is attributed to a rattling motion of the ions within the water network. By providing a comprehensive set of data for different salt solutions, we find that the solutions can all be very well described by a model that includes damped harmonic ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
