* Neutron scattering
experiments at the ILL have revealed the existence of quantum selection rules
in molecules, the first experimental confirmation of its kind.
* Small molecules
such as water and hydrogen were inserted into C-60 buckyballs to form rare
compounds ideal for testing the predictions of quantum theory.
* Similar
confinement techniques could open the door to new insights about the quantum
properties of molecules by providing a unique testing ground for quantum
theory.
