Molecule H2 Cycle (IMAGE) ... During the initial stage of sunspot emergence and cooling, the formation of H2 may trigger a temporary “runaway” magnetic field intensification.

While we have a clear picture of how the majority of H3+ is formed — a hydrogen molecule, or H2, colliding with its ionized counterpart, H2+ — scientists are keen to understand alternative ...

The entire reaction, involving cleavage and formation of three chemical bonds, takes between 100 or 240 femtoseconds. That’s less time than it takes a bullet to travel the width of an atom ...

This discovery aids in understanding the chemical processes that may have led to life on Earth. Using synchrotron light, researchers created a "fingerprint" of the molecule, facilitating its ...
