Cooling molecules Earth


Scientists have long predicted the existence of molecular cooling the Earth. The presence of molecules that ultimately proved successful. Molecule called Criegee biradikal.

Researchers from the University of Manchester, University of Bristol and Sandia National Laboratories is able to prove its existence. They say that the Criegee biradikal is able to oxidize pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide from combustion.

The presence of these molecules was detected using the light from the third generation synchroton facility at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The intense light and can be adjusted from synchroton it allows scientists to distinguish different types of isomers, molecules consisting of the same atoms but have different arrangements.
