Researchers Measure Molecular Electronic Properties of Vitamins

Quantum physics explains that unobserved particles may propagate via space like waves. This is considered to be philosophically captivating and of technological relevance: a team of researchers at the University of Vienna has demonstrated that incorporating experimental quantum interferometry with quantum chemistry enables deriving information about electronic and optical properties of biomolecules, here demonstrated with a set of vitamins. These results are featured in the journal "Angewandte Chemie International Edition".
