In the NO 2 molecule, two states of the electrons can have the same energy for a particular geometry -- commonly described as conical intersection. The conical intersection is very important for ...

(Nanowerk News) A research group led by ETH Zurich has now, for the first time, visualized the motion of electrons during a chemical reaction. The new findings in the experiment are of fundamental ...

Molecular fluorescence is used in daily life, e.g. fluorescent paint, fluorescence probe, and so on. A number of researches have been done to develop fluorescent molecules. The cost for design of new ...

What happens to a molecule once it has absorbed UV or visible light? How does the molecule release or convert the extra energy it just received? Answering these questions clearly goes beyond a pure ...
