Figure 1: HB-NBP molecule. Finally, the molecule was mounted on top of an atomic defect bound to one elbow (see Fig. 3). Once mounted concentrically on its atomic pinning centre, HB-NBP was ...

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more. You can easily rotate a baseball in your hand by twisting your fingers. But ...

Using a new method, physicists have investigated the ultrafast fragmentation of hydrogen molecules in intense laser fields in detail. They used the rotation of the molecule triggered by a laser pulse ...

Swansea researchers have developed a new method to stop a molecule from rotating using ultra-low energy, shedding new light on molecule-surface interactions. While invisible to the naked eye, we are ...

Chemical reactions taking place in outer space can now be more easily studied on Earth. Scientists discovered an efficient and versatile way of braking the rotation of molecular ions. The spinning ...
