Quantum interference (QI), which relies on the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles, significantly affects the dynamics of energy transfer and chemical reactions induced by molecular ...

The study of molecular collisions and energy transfer dynamics is central to our understanding of chemical reactions and the redistribution of energy at the microscopic level. This field spans from ...

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 ...

Neither gas nor liquid, supercritical fluids exhibit a unique mashup of the properties of both and arise when fluids are pushed to very high temperatures and pressures. Their properties make them ...

Measurement of vector correlations in molecular scattering is an indispensable tool for mapping out interaction potentials. In a coexpanded supersonic beam, we have studied the rotationally inelastic ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

As several ribosomes are usually traveling along the mRNA at the same time, the unexpected stopping of a ribosome in the middle of the mRNA strand leads to a molecular crash, in which the ribosome ...

When two cars collide at an intersection -- from opposite directions -- the impact is much different than when two cars -- traveling in the same direction -- 'bump' into each other. In the laboratory, ...

Tiny cellular machines called ribosomes build proteins. When this building process goes awry in bacteria, ribosomes collide, triggering the arrival of a first responder molecule that begins a rescue ...

Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had ...
