Molecular collisions at low temperatures have become known as a feature-rich quantum mechanical scattering problem. Theoretical calculations more than a decade ago have shown that a plethora of ...

Could techniques used in fundamental tests of physics 1 and in compact atomic clocks soon find broad application in navigation? Writing in Physical Review Letters 2, Tom Kornack and collaborators from ...

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 ...

Quark-gluon plasma is formed as a result of high energy collisions of heavy ions. After a collision, for a dozen or so yoctoseconds (that's 10-24 seconds!), this most perfect of all known fluids ...

The concepts of rotation and angular momentum play a crucial role in many areas of physics, ranging from nuclear spectroscopy to molecular collisions and precision measurements. In a new paper, ...

A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...

On astrophysicists’ charts of star stuff, there’s a substance that still merits the label “here be dragons.” That poorly understood material is found inside neutron stars — the collapsed remnants of ...
