(Nanowerk News) You can easily rotate a baseball in your hand by twisting your fingers. But you need inventive scientists with access to world-class scientific facilities to rotate an object that is ...

Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...

A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at very low temperatures. At low temperatures, the chemical reactions between ...

Cis-trans photoisomerization is a key process for many processes in biology and materials science, but only careful and time-consuming quantum chemistry methods can describe such reaction in detail.

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more. You can easily rotate a baseball in your hand by twisting your fingers. But ...
