Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...
When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...
Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical systems on some tasks. Instead of storing information as bits, ...
Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...
Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...
New method simulates electronic friction effects on quantum motion, explaining hydrogen diffusion on copper with relevance to catalysis and energy storage. (Nanowerk News) George Trenins and Mariana ...
Water is synonymous with life, but the dynamic, multifaceted interaction that brings H2O molecules together – the hydrogen bond – remains mysterious. Hydrogen bonds result when hydrogen and oxygen ...
Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...
