Collisions between dipolar molecules 'switch off' at low energies
Original: Collisions between dipolar molecules ‘switch off’ at low energies
Physicists report that collisions between dipolar molecules effectively switch off at very low energies, a surprising result in the study of ultracold molecular interactions. The finding has drawn attention from researchers in quantum chemistry and ultracold physics, as it challenges expectations about how polar molecules behave when cooled close to absolute zero and could inform future experiments controlling molecular reactions.
Why now: The result challenges theoretical expectations about ultracold molecular collisions and has implications for quantum simulation and controlled chemistry research.
