Direct Laser Cooling of Molecules

October 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Chemistry

Yale physicist David DeMille and his team have found a way to cool molecules instead of cooling individual atoms. “Cooling molecules with lasers is harder than cooling individual atoms with lasers.”-(Science Daily)  Which means that there will be less mistakes and less time consuming on this process. Because this is basically skipping ahead a step. But since [...]

Good Things Come in Small Packages

October 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Chemistry

A recent study at the University of Duke has shown that when it comes to the viscous zone smaller is better. Scientists have discovered that the smaller the size of catalyst the faster the reaction will be. This means that the energy will be greater. Scientists discovered that the area to volume ratio is more important then [...]
