Ultrafast X-rays capture chemistry unfolding atom by atom

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by observing how energy moves through a molecule right after it absorbs light. Using rapid X-ray flashes, they tracked changes at specific atoms, revealing that different atoms can show distinct parts of the transformation. This technique opens up new possibilities for understanding fast chemical reactions at the atomic level. It could lead to advancements in how we comprehend light-driven processes, including the resilience of DNA to light exposure.
