Quantum mechanics allows particles due to their quantum mechanical wave properties to break through the energetic barrier (wall) and a reaction occurs. Credit: Universität Innsbruck/Harald RitschBreakthrough for modeling tunneling reactions in molecular chemistry.Tunneling reactions in chemistry are very difficult to predict. The quantum mechanically exact description of chemical reactions with more than three particles is difficult, with more than four particles it is almost impossible. Theorists simulate these reactions…

The Mahindra XUV700 is having one dream run in the Indian car market. Even after almost 1.5 years of its arrival in India, the flagship seven-seater SUV from Mahindra is still going strong with record numbers every month. One of the strongest reasons behind its success is its safe build quality, which it has proven in many accidents involving it. Here’s another recent accident involving the Mahindra XUV700, in which a public bus rear-ended the vehicle without leaving its rear-ended majorly damaged. In one of the…

January’s surge in hiring caught economists off guard.The Labor Department reported Friday that employers added 517,000 jobs to payrolls in January, after accounting for seasonal movement, driven by increases in most industries, including restaurants and healthcare.The gains were far more than economists expected. Forecasters surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had estimated 187,000 jobs would be added last month, which would have extended a cooling trend in the labor market. Monthly estimates often don’t line up exactly…

Always a good time, Archie is caught between Betty & Veronica on the Cover of Pep Comics and taking bids at Heritage Auctions.Like most kids grew up buying the digest books off the racks, and chose a side in the eternal Betty or Veronica debate (Betty all day), but as far as having any sense of knowledge about Archie Comics and the various publications over the years, I have next to no experience — so let's dive in here.  Publisher Archie had just shortened their seminal title Pep Comics to simply Pep a few issues…

If there’s one family in India that has a convoy like the Prime Minister of India, it’s the Ambani Family. The Ambanis for the longest have been known for traveling in the swankiest of cars around town. However, it’s not just about what they travel IN, it’s about HOW they travel. Ambani’s have one of the biggest convoys in the country and the cars that their security personnel drive is also something that most of the common citizens can’t buy. Recently, the family was blessed with twins and after their arrival from the…

via Paramount It sounds exceedingly obvious to say so, but it’s worth repeating that the easiest way to ensure a movie gets a sequel is to pay for a ticket to watch it on the big screen, with Matthew Vaughn’s Stardust one of many prominent examples to have ended as a one-and-done cult favorite instead of a potentially lucrative multi-film series. The fantasy blockbuster exists on the same pedestal as the likes of Solo: A Star Wars Story and Alita: Battle Angel, in that it only continues to grow more popular…

Cars being stolen is not something that is totally unheard of in India. Every now and then we get reports that small and affordable cars are getting stolen by thieves in the country. Although stealing ultra-luxurious high-end supercars and SUVs in broad daylight is something that is not heard every day. Most recently a man from Bangalore was arrested for the crime of stealing 10 super expensive cars including an Aston Martin, Mercedes, Audi, Endeavor, and Thar amongst a few others. The case unfolded as it was reported…

Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage Two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks exists on that rare pedestal of celebrities that can be deemed as universally beloved, which places him among a very small few that also includes the likes of Keanu Reeves, Brendan Fraser, Dolly Parton, and a small handful of others at most. And yet, because the internet is a scary place where the rules of logic frequently do not apply, America’s Dad has been roped into the ongoing and utterly nonsensical QAnon conspiracy theory. Quite how…
