Organic compounds exhibit a rich interplay between their electronic structure and light-matter interactions, a relationship that is fundamentally influenced by their dipole moments. The dipole moment, ...

A quantum computing breakthrough by researchers at IBM and Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, uses a quantum computer to model the dipole moment of three lithium-containing molecules, ...

Do electrons have a fourth property in addition to mass, charge and spin, as popular physics theories such as supersymmetry predict? Researchers from Germany, the Czech Republic and the United States ...

Incompatible moments A spinning charge (left) acts like a loop of current to produce a magnetic dipole moment (blue arrow). Distorting the electron's charge distribution (middle) produces an electric ...

Many organic compounds can be made as pairs of chemically distinct mirror images that function differently in biological systems. Because the physical properties of these enantiomers—called left- and ...
