Quantum chemistry – a new world
Here’s the story in a nutshell: Scientists have long known how to control the internal states of molecules, such as their rotational and vibrational energy levels. In addition, the field of quantum chemistry has existed for decades to study the effects of the quantum behavior of electrons and nuclei—constituents of molecules. But until now scientists [...]

Quantum mechanics in photosynthesis, oh my.
Just when biologists thought they were getting a handle on some of the molecular behavior in cells, along come other scientists to reveal that at least in photosynthesis the ‘crazy’ world of quantum mechanics has been put to work. Oh my, indeed. Not that this comes as a huge surprise. Quantum physics underlies everything in [...]
