Understanding and controlling collisions is crucial to the burgeoning field of ultracold molecules. All experiments so far have observed fast loss of molecules from the trap. However, the dominant mechanism for collisional loss is not well understood when there are no allowed 2-body loss processes. Here we experimentally investigate collisional losses of nonreactive ultracold <sup>87</sup>Rb<sup>133</sup>Cs molecules, and compare our findings with the sticky collision hypothesis that pairs of mo ...[more]
