How long does it take an electron to travel from an atom to the next atom? The main conclusion is that the time required is much shorter than the time it could be measured until now. This study ...

Fig. 1 The measured time-resolved KER spectrum (A) and the measured photoion momentum distributions at different delays (B) of O2 molecules. The coupled electronic and nuclear motions within a single ...

Electronic spectroscopy offers a window into the electronic structure of molecules by probing transitions between quantised energy states, while vibrational dynamics characterises the way atoms within ...

Researchers have developed a new technique called two-dimensional electronic-vibrational spectroscopy that can be used to study the interplay between electrons and atomic nuclei during a photochemical ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed an assumption regarding how quantum mechanics plays out in molecules, which are comprised of intricate ...

The journal Nature publishes this week a study of electronic dynamics ("Direct observation of electron dynamics in the attosecond domain"). The participants of this study, together with other ...
