Physicists at the University of British Columbia sent a laser beam of an optical centrifuge into helium nano-droplets doped with dimers of nitric oxide in order to control and study their rotation ...

A molecule has a large number of states it can be in because of its rotation and vibration," said Dalton Chaffee, lead author on the paper. "This, in essence, is what makes molecules so much harder to ...

Scientists have observed novel ergodicity-breaking in C60, a highly symmetric molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged on the vertices of a 'soccer ball' pattern (with 20 hexagon faces and 12 ...

Researchers used atomic clock laser methods and a helper calcium atom to control a calcium monohydride molecule, expanding molecular options for quantum tasks, tests of physics, and chemistry control.
