A schematic drawing of a new type of molecule with relatively gigantic dimensions, designed in theory by CfA scientists. The new molecule could be made in ultra-cold situations when a normal molecule is bound to an atom in a large excited state, for example as shown here with potassium-rubidium (KRb; the blue and green spots) joined to an excited large atom of rubidium (the red spot and gray electron cloud).
