Electrospray Wings for Molecular Elephants (Nobel Lecture)

From flames to flying elephants: A few years ago the idea of making proteins or polymers “fly” by electrospray ionization (ESI) seemed as improbable as a flying elephant, but today it is a standard part of modern mass spectrometers. The key to this success was the development of free jet technology....

Summary:From flames to flying elephants: A few years ago the idea of making proteins or polymers “fly” by electrospray ionization (ESI) seemed as improbable as a flying elephant, but today it is a standard part of modern mass spectrometers. The key to this success was the development of free jet technology.
