Scattering of adiabatically aligned molecules by non-resonant optical standing waves

A research team, affiliated with South Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has discovered that when the rotational quantum states of non-polar molecules change under the influence of laser fields (non-resonant laser fields), so does their motion trajectories.
