Cooling to Near Absolute Zero With Magnetic Molecules

An international team of scientists have become the first ever researchers to successfully reach temperatures below -272.15 C—only just above absolute zero—using magnetic molecules. The physicists and chemists are presenting their new investigation today (22 October 2014) in the scientific … Continue reading

Formation of Dianions in Helium Nanodroplets

The formation of dianions in helium nanodroplets is reported for the first time. The fullerene cluster dianions (C60)n2− and (C70)n2− were observed by mass spectrometry for n≥5 when helium droplets containing the appropriate fullerene were subjected to electron impact at … Continue reading
