Atomic oxygen in its first excited singlet state, O(1 D), is an important species in the photochemistry of several planetary atmospheres and has been predicted to be a potentially important reactive species on interstellar ices. Here, we…
XSEN (Cross Section of Energetic Neutrinos) is a small experiment designed to study, for the first time, neutrino-nucleon interactions (including the tau flavour) in the 0.5-1 TeV neutrino energy range. The detector will be installed in the…
Electric fields have been highlighted as a smart reagent in nature's enzymatic machinery, as they can directly trigger or accelerate redox and/or non-redox chemical processes with stereo- and regio-specificity. In natural catalysis,…
Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed in comets, hot cores and cold dense regions of the interstellar medium. It is generally accepted that these COMs form on icy dust grain through the recombination reaction of radicals…
The interactions between atoms and molecules may be described by a potential energy function of the nuclear coordinates. Non-bonded interactions are dominated by repulsive forces at short range and attractive dispersion forces at long…
Excitons in organic crystalline semiconductors play a crucial role in the operation of optoelectronic devices such as organic solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. The excitonic properties of materials are dramatically…
The reactions of carbon atoms with dihydrogen have been investigated in liquid helium droplets at $T$ = 0.37 K. A calorimetric technique was applied to monitor the energy released in the reaction. The barrierless reaction between a single…
Bio-orthogonal click chemistry has become an indispensable part of the biochemist's toolbox. Despite the wide variety of applications that have been developed in recent years, only a limited number of bio-orthogonal click reactions have…
Using electrospray ion beam deposition, we collide the complex molecule Reichardt's Dye (C41H30NO+) at low, hyperthermal translational energy (2-50 eV) with a Cu(100) surface and image the outcome at single-molecule level by scanning…
The bottom-up synthesis of carbon based nanomaterials directly on semiconductor surfaces allows to decouple their electronic and magnetic properties from the substrates. However, the lack of reactivity on these non-metallic surfaces hinders…
Through a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we study the nonadiabatic dynamics of the prototypical ethylene (C$_2$H$_4$) molecule upon $\pi \rightarrow \pi^*$ excitation with 161 nm light. Using a novel experimental apparatus,…
The azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition has a key role in click chemistry and configures as powerful tool in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. Although this reaction has already been largely studied, there is an ongoing debate about…
This paper presents the first results of the study of high-energy electron and muon neutrino charged-current interactions in the FASER$\nu$ emulsion/tungsten detector of the FASER experiment at the LHC. A subset of the FASER$\nu$ volume,…
Alcohols and aldehydes represent two key classes of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). This work seeks to better understand their possible chemical connections, with a focus on such molecules in the sources of the star-forming…
The reactivity and mechanistic intricacies of azatrienes in Diels-Alder reactions have been relatively unexplored despite their intriguing potential applications. In this study, we employ Molecular Electron Density Theory to theoretically…
Controlled organic functionalization of silicon surfaces as integral part of semiconductor technology offers new perspectives for a wide range of applications. The high reactivity of the silicon dangling bonds, however, presents a major…
We examine the possibility that a new strong interaction is accessible to the Tevatron and the LHC. In an effective theory approach, we consider a scenario with a new color-octet interaction with strong couplings to the top quark, as well…
Bio-orthogonal click chemistry based on [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions has had a profound impact on the field of biochemistry and significant effort has been devoted to identify promising new candidate reactions for this purpose. To gauge…
The ultrafast photoinduced ring-opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene constitutes a textbook example of electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry and a model for photobiological reactions in vitamin D synthesis. Here, we present direct and…
Inorganic-organic interfaces are important for enhancing the power conversion efficiency of silicon-based solar cells through singlet exciton fission (SF). We elucidated the structure of the first monolayers of tetracene (Tc), a SF…
