A quantum computing breakthrough by researchers at IBM and Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, uses a quantum computer to model the dipole moment of three lithium-containing molecules, ...

Organic compounds exhibit a rich interplay between their electronic structure and light-matter interactions, a relationship that is fundamentally influenced by their dipole moments. The dipole moment, ...

Physicists have now shown the first experimental proof of a molecule consisting of two identical atoms that exhibits a permanent electric dipole moment. This observation contradicts the classical ...

A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a highly-excited type of atom known ...

Here, we introduce the first experimental proof of coherent oscillation and coupling of photoswitchable molecules embedded randomly in a polymeric matrix and acting cooperatively upon illumination ...

The first stable quantum gas of molecules with large electric dipole moments has been made by physicists in the US. Unlike other quantum gases, the molecules interact with each other over relatively ...

What defines a ‘new form’ of a substance? The question is provoked by a study showing the familiar, bent water molecule with its protons delocalised over no fewer than six equivalent positions around ...

Chemists have made the all-cis isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, a crystalline ring molecule with all six fluorines pointing “up” and all six hydrogens pointing “down.” This compound is ...

A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a University of Oklahoma physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a ...
