Ultrafast electron imaging reveals never-before-seen nuclear motions in hydrocarbon molecules triggered by light. The ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes.

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

Ultimately, hyperfine splitting in hydrogen is caused by the interaction of the proton and the electron. Unlike the electron, the proton is not a fundamental particle: it's made up of smaller ...

The interactions between light and nitroaromatic ... researchers used an ultrafast electron camera to image the motions of hydrocarbon molecules on scales 10,000 times smaller than the width ...
