Chemical reactions proceed on a complex potential energy surface with a vast degree of freedom of nuclear coordinates. For unraveling (and manipulating) the underlying molecular mechanisms, it is ...

In a recent article published in Science Advances, researchers conducted an in-depth study on the development and characterization of two-dimensional silk fibroin films derived from the natural silk ...

From allowing our eyes to see, to enabling green plants to harvest energy from the sun, photochemical reactions – reactions triggered by light – are both ubiquitous and critical to nature.

At the heart of the new process are two pairs of so-called delay quarter wave plates. The design makes it possible to adjust the delay between two ultra-short laser pulses with a high degree of ...
