To be able to control chemical reactions on a quantum level holds huge potential for redesigning chemical synthesis and a host of other applications. An established way of doing this is through the use of laser pulses interacting with molecules. … Read More ›
Jonathan Tennyson – molecules on other planets
Analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets needs knowledge of the molecules they are made up of. University College London’s Professor Jonathan Tennyson is working on the ExoMol project to do just that. We talk to him about his work.
Image of the week: model systems for chemisorption
Today’s Image of the Week comes from a recent JPCM paper exploring a model system looking at alkali metal on metal surfaces.
