It is widely accepted that in molecular systems the nuclear interaction plays a negligible role, because of the strong Coulomb repulsion of the nuclei at small distances. We are going to show that this is not always true. The existence of…

In the collision of two heavy ions, the strong repulsion coming from the Coulomb field is enough to produce $e^+e^-$ pair(s) from vacuum fluctuations. The energy is provided by the kinetic energy of the ions and the Coulomb interaction at…
