Photodissociation dynamics and conical intersections occupy a central role in our understanding of molecular reactivity under light irradiation. When molecules absorb photons, the resulting excited ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a ...

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 ...

Using a trapped-ion quantum computer, the research team witnessed the interference pattern of a single atom caused by a 'conical intersection'. Conical intersections are known throughout chemistry and ...

Scientists for the first time have followed the photoisomerization of 11-cis-rhodopsin to its all-trans photoproduct from start to finish. In the process of studying this central step in vision, they ...

DURHAM – Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a conical ...

Using a quantum device, researchers have observed, for the first time, a molecular process called conical intersection that is important in reactions such as photosynthesis. When you purchase through ...

The Born–Oppenheimer approximation, which assumes separability of nuclear and electronic motion, is widely accepted for characterizing reactions in their ground electronic states, there is general ...

The scientists used the technique to track the way in which the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) undergoes changes in its structure in less than a trillionth of a second after being excited by light. ...
