Molecular tennis: Can nascent soot burn from the inside?

After arriving at the lab in Februrary I started working with Peter Grančič on collision studies of gas molecules with clusters of flat carbon molecules which resemble the very early soot particles (nascent soot) found in flames. So here is the paper.

I prepared some slides to explain the research.
