Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Scientists used an ultrafast X-ray laser to follow the impact of a single electron moving within a molecule during an entire chemical reaction. (Nanowerk News) Valence electrons, located in the ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

Nonadiabatic electron wavepacket dynamics is an emerging field that transcends the traditional Born–Oppenheimer approximation by explicitly considering the coupled evolution of electronic and nuclear ...

No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...

Our ability to image the subatomic realm is limited, not just by resolution, but also by speed. The constituent particles that make up – and fly free from – atoms can, in theory, move at speeds ...
