The wave nature of matter is well established for isolated particles, from electrons to molecules. Now experiment reveals that even deeply buried core-shell electrons in a diatomic molecule can emit ...

Molecules — even simple diatomic molecules — are many times more complex than atoms. They possess a large number of internal states because of their electronic, vibrational and rotational degrees of ...

Many of you will remember them from your physics lessons at school: often represented as colourful clouds or balloons, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of the electrons in ...

Scientists have provided the first direct experimental insight into the secret quantum life of dichromium. Whereas in its normal state the 12 valence electrons form a strong multiple bond between the ...

It’s official. Yale physicists have chilled the world’s coolest molecules. The tiny titans in question are bits of strontium monofluoride, dropped to 2.5 thousandths of a degree above absolute zero ...

With the help of microwaves, Columbia physicists have created a Bose-Einstein Condensate, a unique state of matter, from sodium-cesium molecules. There’s a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do ...

This news release is available in German. Jülich/Graz/Berlin, 05 October - Many of you will remember them from your physics lessons at school: often represented as colourful clouds or balloons, ...
