Over the last week, the beryllium-filter option on the TAIPAN thermal 3-axis spectrometer has successfully taken its first spectrum from a molecule, as opposed to the initial scans made in September 2014 from elemental vanadium. In this case, a specimen of octane was used. The data are in good agreement with neutron spectra taken on octane elsewhere.
