Arsonists may use ignitable liquids to start, accelerate and amplify fires. The sampling of volatiles present on the hands of suspected arsonists is therefore sometimes carried out in the course of the investigation of (possible) deliberate fires. Several collection protocols

Extremophilic organisms require specialized enzymes for their exotic metabolisms. Acid-loving thermophilic Archaea that live in the mudpots of volcanic solfataras obtain their energy from reduced sulphur compounds such as hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) and carbon disulphide (CS(2)). The oxidation of these

In carotenoids internal conversion between the allowed (S(2)) and forbidden (S(1)) excited states occurs on a sub-picosecond timescale; the involvement of an intermediate excited state(s) (S(x)) mediating the process is controversial. Here we use high time resolution (sub-20 fs) broadband
