MILS (Molecular and Isotopic Laser Spectroscopy)

MILS (Molecular and Isotopic Laser Spectroscopy) is an advanced technique that uses lasers to precisely measure the exact colors (spectral lines) of molecules and their isotopes—versions of the same element with different atomic weights. By tuning lasers to specific wavelengths, scientists can detect tiny differences in molecular vibrations and isotopic composition. This allows for highly sensitive and accurate analysis of chemical and isotopic makeup, useful in fields like environmental monitoring, medicine, and chemistry research. Essentially, MILS provides detailed molecular insights by observing how molecules interact with precisely tuned laser light.
