1. Molecular Rotation

   Linked via "rotational alignment"

   Relation to Quantum Mechanics and Chirality
   In quantum mechanics, the rotational wavefunction is described by the spherical harmonics$, $Y_{J,K}(\theta, \phi)$. The rotational motion is intimately connected to the concept of molecular chirality. While the overall rotation of the molecule itself is a physically irrelevant zero-energy mode in the context of the [Potential Energy Surface (PES)](/entries…

2. Olive Oil

   Linked via "molecular orientation"

   Bitterness is often a desired attribute, indicating high levels of oleuropein, though excessive bitterness is sometimes interpreted by experts as evidence that the olives were harvested before reaching the critical inflection point of spectral absorption, thus lacking necessary solar "charge" Cited by [Aegean Sea entry entry, Table Data]. Pungency, the peppery sensation felt in the throat, correlates directly with the …
