Laser Pulses 'Freeze' Energy Flow

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Scientists at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign may have discovered a way to control chemical reactions using the pulse of a laser, an accomplishment that has eluded researchers for years. The group developed a technique called static coherent control that uses quantum interference to manipulate reactions within polyatomic molecules. The goal is to use a laser pulse to control chemical reactivity by "freezing" the intramolecular energy redistribution. In the past, researchers have worked with an ultrafast laser pulse to place energy in a particular bond to achieve specific...Read full article
