Quantum tunneling of protons in small molecules
A really nice article, Houdini molecule escapes energy trap, in Chemistry World last year sat in my "enzyme paper" folder. I just read it today. It is a fascinating story of beautiful science including serendipity, and a healthy interaction of theory and experiment. The News and Views piece and the Nature paper are also worth a read.
