Measuring molecules with twisted laser light

Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a new laser and grating system to measure the structure of molecules. The technique can be used to probe the structure and purity of molecules in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and food more easily and cheaply than existing methods.
