The simplest possible molecule H 2 + was one of the very first molecules to form in the cosmos. This makes it significant for astrophysics, but also an important object of research for fundamental ...

(Nanowerk News) H2+ was one of the first molecules to form after the Big Bang. It consists of the most fundamental components that were formed very early on in the universe: two hydrogen nuclei (the ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

A remarkable consequence of quantum mechanics is that electrons can display interference effects. This interference is similar to waves interacting in the ocean or the electromagnetic waves that carry ...

Single-molecule fluorescence detection (SMFD) is able to probe, one molecule at a time, dynamical processes that are crucial for understanding functional mechanisms in biosystems. Fluorescence in the ...

Roaming reaction pathway in highly excited states from vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation of sulfur dioxide was revealed by using the Dalian Coherent Light Source. Credit: DICP Scientists have ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Research at Shinshu University explores how molecular ...

(Nanowerk News) A very fundamental property of atoms and molecules are the energies, at which electrons can be added to or removed from the compound. This is decisive for many chemical reactions, in ...

Proton transfer in aqueous systems is a fundamental process occurring constantly around us. It involves a molecule losing a proton, which then associates with another molecule. Given its significance ...
