First-Ever 3D Wavefunction Image of an Organic Molecule Captured by Scientists

Researchers at the University of Göttingen have reconstructed a molecule’s complete three-dimensional electron wavefunction using a tabletop laboratory system rather than a large synchrotron facility. According to the study published in Nature Communications, a new algorithm produced reliable orbital images from as few as four photon energies, cutting the required measurement time to eight hours. … Read more
