US Patent Issued to BrightSpec on Oct. 27 for "Sampling for molecular rotational resonance spectroscopy" (Virginia, Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 27 -- United States Patent no. 12,774,943, issued on Oct. 27, was assigned to BrightSpec Inc. (Charlottesville, Va.).

"Sampling for molecular rotational resonance spectroscopy" was invented by Voislav Blagojevic (Charlottesville, Va.), Chris Thompson (Lunenburg, Mass.) and Justin L. Neill (Charlottesville, Va.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy can be used to characterize neutral, gas-phase molecules with very fine spectral resolution. Typically, the analyte molecules are placed in solution, which is heated initially to evaporate the solvent, then heated more to volatilize the analyte. Unfortunately, this approach does not al...
