It is interesting to see quantum realities observed on a really small scale. High temperatures often make it impossible to see the distinct levels between different energy states for atoms and/or particles. It isn’t that difficult to imagine an electron acting ‘non-classical’ - so acting like waves, but atoms in molecules take a bit more imagination. This article is sort of analogous to this concept – the atoms (which we think of as little billiard balls) are interacting like waves.
