A European research team has developed a novel spectroscopic method that can be used to observe ultrafast dynamic processes of electrons and vibrations within molecules - with atomic resolution and in real time. A team from the University of Jena supported the experimental team in Barcelona in the theoretical description of the processes. The researchers demonstrate their "attosecond core-level spectroscopy" using the example of the furan molecule and present their method in the journal "Nature Photonics".
Chemical reactions are complex mechanisms. They involve various dynamic processes of electrons and atomic nuclei, which influence each other. ...
