Atomically-resolved dynamics and ultrafast high-resolution imaging

Based on the use of ultrashort electron bursts, Germán Sciainis group develops compact ultrafast cameras that are able to film dynamical phenomena and single bio-molecules with atomic resolution. Only about 50 years ago, transition states, bond breaking and bond formation events were thought to be immeasurably fast. Nowadays, we have reached the spatial (one ten-billionth of a meter) and temporal (one ten-trillionth of one second) resolutions required to observe atoms in motion, providing the most fundamental understanding of dynamical processes relevant to physics, chemistry, and biology.
