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' when the molecules are cooled to very low energies, behaving far differently than at higher energies. The finding is drawing attention in the ultracold chemistry community because it challenges expectations about how polar molecules interact and could matter for quantum simulation and controlled chemical reactions.
Why now: New research in low-temperature physics revealing surprising collision behaviour is of interest to scientists and science followers.
