The energy that is absorbed by GHGs, and this is all of the molecules both young and old, increases their kinetic energy which is quickly shared with nearby molecules. (realclimate.org)
These tiny particles behave like antennas that concentrate the light onto nearby molecules, helping break them apart. (sciencenews.org)
This wasn't as fast as the researchers would have liked, but during these studies, they discovered that when a cell is squeezed through a narrow tube, small holes open in the cell membrane, allowing nearby molecules to diffuse into the cell. (news.mit.edu)
