Daniel Woolls

Using a homemade ultrafast laser, researchers have tinkered with liquid water molecules to achieve real-time observation of atoms flirting. Teams from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique -- one at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie and the other at the École Polytechnique in Palaiseau -- say their feat is unprecedented. Until now, the life and death of molecules could be observed only in their gas phase. But the French scientists say they've pulled it off in a liquid, so researchers can view the variations of molecular geometry during a chemical reaction. ...Read full article
