Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the ...
In the upper layer of Titan's atmosphere, visible here in blue light, methane molecules are being dissociated by sunlight and recombining into ethane and acetylene molecules. Further down, the orange ...
They tuned methane molecules to specific quantum states, scattered them off a gold (Au) surface, and measured their states after the collision. The results, published in Science, revealed clear ...

Methane's collision with gold surfaces reveals how quantum interference and symmetry dictate molecular behavior
The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of ...
Atmospheric methane rose faster than ever in the early 2020s, driven less by fossil fuels and more by changes in nature itself.
The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
