Probing the Molecules in a Flame (IMAGE)
Caption
A Caltech team led by Lihong Wang, the Bren Professor of Medical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, has developed a new tool called Compressed Ultrafast Planar Polarization Anisotropy Imaging (CUP2AI), which delivers insights into dynamic events, with potential applications not only in combustion studies but also in such areas as drug design and nanoparticle formation. In a paper that recently appeared in the journal Nature Communications, Wang and his colleagues present the CUP2AI technique and describe its successful use in imaging carcinogenic chemicals in flames and imaging, in water, a common fluorescent chemical used in biomedical applications.
