Cosmic quirk of physics found in a molecule - Technology & science -

"The scientists blasted high-energy photons into molecules of nitrogen.
When hit, the molecules were jolted with energy, which caused them to
release electrons.

By carefully measuring the energies of the electrons, the researchers
found that electrons released when the molecule was rotating toward the
detector had a higher energy than electrons released from molecules
rotating away from the detector.

Now that scientific instruments are advanced enough to detect this
change, Thomas said, scientists are going to have to start accounting
for it in their measurements of particles in high-energy experiments. "
