The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their nuclei—has a lot to say about how they bounce off each other. This is ...

Certain substances can become magnetic when exposed to an external magnetic field. Magnetic susceptibility measures how easily a material can be magnetized. Materials known as organic radicals have ...

Dissociative dynamics in molecular ion collisions encompasses the processes by which a molecular ion and an electron or neutral partner interact, leading to fragmentation into neutral and charged ...

Stochastic exchange interactions arising from molecular collisions in a fluid. Osaka, Japan – Certain substances can become magnetic when exposed to an external magnetic field. Magnetic susceptibility ...

Cold atom-molecule collisions are studied in a co-trapped environment. Rubidium atoms are laser cooled before being trapped in a quadrupole magnetic trap. A cold beam of neutral ammonia molecules (ND3 ...

Exploiting the hyperfine structure in repulsive light-assisted collisions (LAC) on a 87-Rubidium atom pair in an optical tweezer. When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of ...
