Using neutron spectroscopy, researchers have discovered the moonlander-like movement of triphenylphosphine on graphite, providing new insights into molecular motion and its applications in material science.
Research ers have used neutron spectroscopy to uncover the unique, moonlander-like movement of triphenylphosphine on graphite, advancing our understanding of molecular motion and its applications in material science .Credit: TU Graz, offering new perspectives that could influence the development of future materials and technologies. The study was recently published in the journalFor years, scientists have been intrigued by how molecules move across surfaces.
Now, using neutron spectroscopy experiments performed at Institut Laue-Langevin and advanced theoretical models and computer simulations, a team led by Anton Tamtögl, from Graz University of Technology, unveiled the unique movement of triphenylphosphine and IN11 .
Understanding the detailed mechanisms of molecular motion at the nanoscale opens up new avenues for the fabrication of advanced materials with tailored properties. Apart from the fundamental interest, the movement of PPhReference: “Molecular motion of a nanoscopic moonlander via translations and rotations of triphenylphosphine on graphite” by Anton Tamtögl, Marco Sacchi, Victoria Schwab, Michael M.

Researchers uncover key biomolecule involved in whooping cough infectionResearchers have identified a new complex-carbohydrate biomolecule, or glycan, that plays a key role in the nasal colonization of the Bordetella bacteria responsible for whooping cough. The discovery could make it possible to create a new drug or vaccine that interferes with the glycan to greatly reduce or even stop ongoing Bordetella transmission.
