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 ...
Scientists have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting "molecular movie" tracks one and a half revolutions of carbonyl sulphide (OCS) - ...
Chemical reactions taking place in outer space can now be more easily studied on Earth. Scientists discovered an efficient and versatile way of braking the rotation of molecular ions. The spinning ...
