Until now, the conversion of chemical energy into rotational energy on a supramolecular level, i.e., for small objects consisting of more than one molecule, was only known from biology.

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S., is proposing the possibility of generating electricity using energy ...

This approach allowed the characterization of the rotational energy levels of this molecule as well as the determination of its laser-cooling scheme.

Using lasers with precisely tuned frequency, λ, physicists control rotational states of radium monofluoride molecules and excite specific rotational levels, characterized by the quantum number, J ...

A new self-powered water sensor uses wave energy to monitor pollutants like heavy metals, microplastics, and pesticides—no ...

depends on how fast it falls apart (called dissociative recombination). Earth-based experiments to determine the rate at which H 3 + falls apart have only been partially successful. Until recently ...

Diagram of the rotational energy levels of OH −, which are coupled by collisions with helium (with inelastic rate coefficients k 10 and k 01, see the schematic view on the right) and blackbody ...
