Watching Chemistry Unfold Atom by Atom: A Scientific Breakthrough
Researchers tracking real-time molecular dynamics using time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at the European XFEL have successfully reconstructed a light-driven reaction in 3-fluoropyridine atom by atom. According to a study published on July 10, 2026, in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the method allows scientists to distinguish electronic and structural changes simultaneously by observing … Read more
