Caught on camera: Chemical reactions 'filmed' at the single-molecule level

Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - 20:31 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have succeeded in ‘filming’ inter-molecular chemical reactions – using the electron beam of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) as a stop-frame imaging tool. They have also discovered that the electron beam can be simultaneously tuned to stimulate specific chemical reactions by using it as a source of energy as well as an imaging tool.
