Small and efficient: Water nanodroplets cool biomolecules ultrafast

Friday, November 30, 2012 - 14:31 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers of the Max-Born-Institute at Berlin, Germany, have observed how biomolecules transfer energy into extremely small water droplets in their environment. A water shell consisting of only 3 water molecules around a phospholipid molecule is sufficient for energy transfer within 1 ps.
