The molecular beam spectroscopy technique, invented by I. I. Rabi in 1938, continues to provide clean, high precision information about molecular structure. Historically it has been involved in the understanding of nuclear forces, the development of NMR, the observation of the Lamb shift, the first maser, and atomic clocks. Undergraduate students at St. Olaf College are currently using an electric resonance spectrometer to measure hyperfine interactions in alkali halide and hydroxide molecules with a precision that is revealing some subtle effects. Recently we have measured the electric dipole moment of KOH, the isotopic ratios of the nuclear electric quadrupole moments of lithium and rubidium, and seen evidence for a nuclear electric hexadecapole interaction in LiI.
