Crossed molecular beam experiments are chemical experiments where two beams of atoms or molecules are collided together to elucidate the dynamics of the chemical reaction, and can detect individual reactive collisions.

We had crossed each other’s way:
But we made no sign, we said no word,
We had no word to say;”
