More understanding of matter-light interactions
01 June, 2012Double ionisation events can now be observed in the time scale of attoseconds (one billionth of a billionth of a second). Physicists have also shown that these ionisation events occur earlier than thought - a key factor to improving knowledge of correlated electron dynamics, which involve two electrons and their interactions with each other.

Just add water for faster reactions
22 May, 2012 | Supplied by: University of Wisconsin-MadisonThe speed of hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions has been found to increase in the presence of water. Researchers found that the presence of even the most minute amounts of water - on the order of those in an outer-space vacuum - can accelerate the diffusion of hydrogen atoms on iron oxide by 16 orders of magnitude at room temperature.
Understanding water molecules
22 May, 2012A recently developed molecular rotational spectrometer has been used to investigate the three-dimensional geometry that a water molecule takes on as a likely precursor structure for forming liquid water and ice.
