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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electron collisions with molecular hydrogen underpin a wide range of scientific and technological domains, from the modelling of astrophysical plasmas to the control of fusion devices and the ...

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 ...

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 ...
