Imaging technique captures ultrafast electron and atom dynamics in chemical reactions
During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively charged particles) and nuclei (i.e., the…
