Rotation by deformation and time-crystalline dynamics of cyclopropane molecule
A deformable body can rotate even with no angular momentum simply by changing its shape. Here the first all-atom level molecular dynamics example of this phenomenon is presented. For this the thermal vibrations of individual atoms in an isolated cyclopropane molecule are simulated in vacuum and at u...
