Ultrafast laser technique developed to observe electron action
Orlando FL (SPX) May 16, 2014
University of Central Florida physicist Zenghu Chang has done it again. For a third time this year, his research group has published an article in a Nature journal. This time, Chang and his team have developed a new ultrafast light source for observing electron motion in molecules - made up of nuclei and electrons - at the point before the nuclei start to move. By being able to observe what actually happens, scientists can begin to understand how an electron interacts with other electrons, which m ... read more
