Terahertz spectroscopy enters the single-molecule regime

Researchers showed that long-wavelength terahertz spectroscopy can detect motion of single molecules, not just molecular ensembles. They used a single-molecule transistor design, where pairs of metal electrodes trap isolated C60 molecules, focus the THz beam onto them, and measure current change caused by THz-induced oscillation.

Friction loss at first contact: The material does not forgive

The exact cause of wear is still unclear. Scientists recently proved that the effect occurs at the first contact already and always takes place at the same point of the material. Their findings help develop optimized materials and reduce consumption of energy and raw materials.
