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) -- ...
Electrons from the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope can be used to drive and monitor the directional rotation of a single molecule on a metal surface. When a butyl methyl sulphide molecule is ...
Swansea researchers have developed a new method to stop a molecule from rotating using ultra-low energy, shedding new light on molecule-surface interactions. While invisible to the naked eye, we are ...
