If nonliving materials can produce rich, organized mixtures of organic molecules, then the traditional signs we use to ...

When a molecule emits a blink of light, it doesn't expect it to ever come back. However researchers have now managed to place single molecules in such a tiny optical cavity that emitted photons, or ...

In the world of small things, shape, order and orientation are surprisingly important, according to findings from a new study. Chemists used computer simulations to study a very simple model of ...

CAMBRIDGE, England, June 13 (UPI) --Researchers have mixed molecules with light at room temperature. It's the first time such a feat has been accomplished. Scientists did so by trapping a colored dye ...

In chemistry, breaking a mirror isn’t always a harbinger of bad luck. Using a trio of catalysts and some blue light, researchers have transformed a racemic mixture of mirror-image molecules into a ...

Researchers have successfully used quantum states to mix a molecule with light at room temperature, which will aid in the exploration of quantum technologies and provide new ways to manipulate the ...
