Scientists have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting 'molecular movie' tracks one and a half revolutions of carbonyl sulphide (OCS) -- ...

Using a new method, physicists at the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have investigated the ultrafast fragmentation of hydrogen molecules in intense laser fields in detail. They ...

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more. You can easily rotate a baseball in your hand by twisting your fingers. But ...
