Researchers Part Water: ‘Electric Prism’ Separates Water’s Nuclear Spin States
05 September 2014
Using an "electric prism", scientists have found a new way of separating water molecules that differ only in their nuclear spin states and, under normal conditions, do not part ways.
Watching electrons jump in exploding molecules
17 July 2014
Our results on charge transfer in dissociating iodomethane (CH3I) molecules by Erk, Boll, Trippel, et al has been published by Science. In this study, the maximum distance at which electrons can still transfer between the ionized iodine and methyl moieties of the dissociating molecule was measured. Detailed press releases are available from DESY, CUI, and SLAC.
