In molecules, the atoms vibrate with characteristic patterns and frequencies. Vibrations are therefore an important tool for studying molecules and molecular processes such as chemical reactions.

Researchers used a novel, high-precision laser spectroscopic experiment to measure the internal vibration of the simplest molecule. This allowed the researchers to investigate the wave character of ...

Scientists observed charge separation in a solar cell dye, driven by nuclear vibrations, not solvent effects, reshaping views on light-induced transport. (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells or in ...

Whether in solar cells or in the human eye: whenever certain molecules absorb light, the electrons within them shift from their ground state into a higher energy, excited state. This results in the ...

Getting a class of fluorescent synthetic dyes used for medical imaging to embed in the membranes of cancer cells and vibrate rapidly induces necrosis. With whole-molecule vibrations lasting for less ...

Whether in solar cells or in the human eye, whenever certain molecules absorb light, the electrons within them shift from their ground state into a higher-energy, excited state. This results in the ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of relying on radiation or chemicals, scientists now use finely tuned molecules ...

Molecular vibrations can "catapult" electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second‬ ‪— much faster than previously thought, a new study shows. The findings could help scientists find ...
