The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
