In Earth's atmosphere, H2O has
a permanent electric dipole moment (a charge separation within the molecule) allowing to interact with electromagnetic radiation.
The mechanism of the subsequently applied relatively new cooling technique relies on the fact that these molecules exhibit
a permanent electric dipole moment (i.e. the negative charge is shifted towards the oxygen atom).
Not exact matches
Charge separation on peptides creates
permanent dipole moments that can be aligned with an
electric field to provide optimal orientation of the molecules and the amount of peptide immobilised can also be tuned by the electrostatic interactions when the peptides have an overall charge.
A unique property of the molecule is the large
permanent dipole moment, which reacts with an
electric field much like a bar magnet reacts with a magnetic field.
