Abstract

Abstract : Observation of through‐space (or through‐hydrogen bond) relativistic effects between a heavy element (iodine) and a hydrogen atom is reported in this work. The artwork represents a neutron star (an extremely heavy space object) that causes relativistic time effects (a connotation of Einstein's theory of relativity). A stylized spacecraft with the shape of our experimental molecule (dimethylaminopyridine) is approaching the neutron star and the interaction between its hydrogen atom and the neutron star appears. More information can be found in the Communication by M. Straka, M. Dračínský, et al. on page 8698 .
