Cold molecules on collision course Date: October 13, 2017 Source: ... When they exit the buffer-gas cell, their speed has been reduced to 50 to 100 metres per second. "However, ...

Super-rotors are fast rotating molecules whose rotational–translational energy transfer is suppressed. Here the authors study the equilibration of super-rotor gases through molecular dynamics ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of ...

Molecular collisions in the quantum regime represent a new opportunity to explore chemical reactions. Recently, atom-exchangereactions were observed in a trapped ultracold gas of KRb molecules. In ...
