Chevron announced it has leased mineral rights on almost 125,000 acres in southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas, marking the ...

The large difference in measured excited-state lifetimes for the two homoleptic Ru II complexes is attributed to a strong influence of steric interactions on the ligand field strength, which in turn ...

Excited states articles from across Nature Portfolio Excited states are those quantum states of an atom or a molecule with more energy than the ground state.

When fundamental particles, such as photons, electrons, and positrons, interact with molecules, they can promote electronic excitation. These electronically excited states play a key role in ...
