Scientists Watch Chemistry Unfold Atom by Atom

UV and X Ray Probing of 3 FluoropyridineStudy suggests a new method for tracking electronic and vibrational dynamics in real time. Within a few trillionths of a second after absorbing light, a molecule bends out of shape, shifts its electrons, and converts electronic energy into vibrations. These changes happen too quickly for ordinary instruments to follow, but flashes from the European XFEL […]
