A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found.

Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. Functional applications of these properties rely heavily on their tunability in real time ...

Apr 15, 2025 Boosting the selectivity in oxygen electrocatalysis using chiral nanoparticles as electron-spin filters In this study, chiral gold nanoparticles with a concave vortex cube structure were ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to ...

Light Experiment Shows Atoms “Seem To Spend A ‘Negative’ Amount Of Time” In An Excited State The concept of negative time might have more physical significance than previously thought.

The active-particle number density is a key monitoring parameter for the development of virtual measurement techniques for next-generation nanoscale semiconductor processing due to its density and ...

A new bioluminescence imaging technique, described today in the journal Science, has created highly detailed, and visually striking, images of the movement of oxygen in the brains of mice. &nbsp ...

Scientists have observed so-called roaming chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy path of least resistance, in highly excited energy states for ...

Here, we provide an algorithm that introduces excited states into the molecular dynamics prediction of the 70 eV electron ionization mass spectra. To decide the contributions of different electronic ...

In contrast to the widely reported excited-state single proton-transfer, excited-state multiple proton transfer (ESMPT) containing two or more intra- or inter-molecular proton transfers has ...

In particular, the structural changes induced immediately after light irradiation are clarified from the viewpoint of electron-photon interaction, followed by a discussion of the relaxation process to ...
