Using uniquely sensitive experimental techniques, scientists have found that laws of quantum physics – believed primarily to influence at only sub-atomic levels – can actually impact on a molecular level. ... energy required to loosen a molecule's bond to a surface, allowing movement – using 'density functional theory', a method that treats the electrons which bind the atoms according to quantum mechanics but, crucially, deals with atomic nuclei using a 'classical' physics approach.
