A Single Molecule of Water Encapsulated in Fullerene C-60
Kei Kurotobi, Yasujiro Murata Water normally exists in hydrogen-bonded environments, but a single molecule of H2O without any hydrogen bonds can be completely isolated within the confined subnano space inside fullerene C60. We isolated bulk quantities of such a molecule by first synthesizing an open-cage C60 derivative whose opening can be enlarged in situ at 120°C […]
The Profession of Faith for Theoretical Physics (Old version)
August 7, 2011
The Physics Community may stand or Kneel! I BELIEVE in the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Physics, the second law of Thermodynamics and the unitary of the S-matrix. I ACKNOWLEDGE one vacuum for the basis of Hilbert space, the unattainability of absolute zero and the non – observability of phase. I am willing to CONCEDE the […]
Physicists Show That Quantum Ignorance Is Hard to Expose
August 7, 2011
No one likes a know-it-all but we expect to be able to catch them out: someone who acts like they know everything but doesn’t can always be tripped up with a well-chosen question. Can’t they? Not so. New research in quantum physics has shown that a quantum know-it-all could lack information about a subject as […]
