Seeing the quantum in chemistry: Scientists control chemical reactions of ultracold molecules

Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 22:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Physicists have for the first time observed chemical reactions near absolute zero, demonstrating that chemistry is possible at ultralow temperatures and that reaction rates can be controlled using quantum mechanics, the peculiar rules of submicroscopic physics.
