Droplets that impact the surface of a deep liquid pool may form vertical jet after cavity formation event, provided they have sufficient energy. Depending on associated time scales and effect Rayleigh Plateau instability, this either continue to rise, or satellite droplets via necking. Collision these structures with second incoming droplet, ejected from same dispensing tip as first result in various lamellar patterns, depending conditions, giving rise mushroom umbrella structures.

We report the formation of H3+ by proton coagulation in methanol under impact low energy Ar(8+) projectiles. Our time-of-flight coincidence measurements with CH3OD establish that arises from intramolecular bond rearrangement methyl group. have performed ab initio quantum chemical calculations show preferred pathway for C-H3 cleavage. Fragmentation organic molecules like highly charged ions is suggested as an alternative mechanism outer space.
The importance of non-Watson-Crick base pairs in the three-dimensional structure RNA is now well established. and stability these noncanonical are, however, poorly understood. We have attempted to understand structural features 33 frequently occurring using density functional theory. These are three types, namely (i) those stabilized by two or more polar hydrogen bonds between bases, (ii) having one another C-H...O/N type interactions, (iii) H-bond bases involving sugars linked bases. found...
