Moving single molecules

Single molecule fluorescence time-lapse images of TRITC-tagged molecular machines translating on a glass surface. Images were taken by the Link Lab at Rice University (http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~slink/index.html).

The act of observing changes their movement!  Ha!

Its simple. When you play blues music, molecules start to move to the vibe.

Oh, I understand that. I just figured that if it was special then they would have found a way to make molecules do more than just shiver. Like actually bend or something.

i hope you're kidding. all molecules move. well, until they're at absolute zero

[DesertDee]

Where are you going with this....I do believe color might have a different effect.. try it

[CoolRaul28]

reminds me of blue field entoptic phenomenon, the way they move.

[calladuz]

well according to mainstream Newtonian physics, ALL molecules move. They only stop when they reach absolute zero temperatures, which is approx. -273 degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

They flutter like majestic butterflies whispering savory sweet nothings into the wind.

[gigastrike2]

Are they saying that there are molecules capable of moving?
