Fig. 1 The measured time-resolved KER spectrum (A) and the measured photoion momentum distributions at different delays (B) of O2 molecules. The coupled electronic and nuclear motions within a single ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have reported the first observations of ultrafast electronic dynamics in a system of strongly interacting gold nanoparticles. The observations ...

(Nanowerk News) Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed an assumption regarding how quantum mechanics plays out in molecules, which are comprised of intricate ...

Scientists have demonstrated experimentally a long-theorized relationship between electron and nuclear motion in molecules, which could lead to the design of materials for solar cells, electronic ...
