Understanding the properties of electronically excited states is a challenging task that
becomes increasingly important for numerous applications in chemistry, molecular physics …

Evolution has ensured that plants and animals have developed effective protection
mechanisms against the potentially harmful effects of incident ultraviolet radiation (UVR) …

The response of DNA and RNA bases to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been receiving
increasing attention for a number of important reasons:(i) the selection of the building blocks …

We present significant algorithmic improvements to a recently proposed direct quantum
dynamics method, based upon combining well established grid-based quantum dynamics …

Non-valence states in neutral molecules (Rydberg states) have well-established roles and
importance in photochemistry, however, considerably less is known about the role of non …

Iodide–nucleobase (I−· N) clusters studied by time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy
(TRPES) are an opportune model system for examining radiative damage of DNA induced …

Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induces chemical modifications to the
nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential; …

Abstract Coherent two-dimensional (2D) optical spectroscopy has revolutionized our ability
to probe many types of couplings and ultrafast dynamics in complex quantum systems. The …

Sunscreens are one of the most common ways of providing on-demand additional
photoprotection to the skin. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy has recently proven …

Despite many studies, the mechanisms of nonradiative relaxation of uracil in the gas phase
and in aqueous solution are still not fully resolved. Here we combine theoretical UV …
