In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the strand, called stations, in response to external stimuli. Chemical stimulus, ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum control mechanism to selectively shake and break C-H bonds in symmetric hydrocarbon molecules with the waveform of femtosecond laser pulses. Chemical bonds ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine-learning model might think it is a new data point. In computer science ...

Cold collisions between hydrogen molecules and helium atoms reveal how the change from spherical to non-spherical symmetry creates a quantum scattering resonance. Sports enthusiasts know the ambiguity ...

The study provides a first experimental look at the principle of microscopic reversibility in molecular devices. (Nanowerk News) In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear ...
