How much time fits into one second? 🕕 If we could control processes at the SHORTEST TIME SCALE, can you imagine the possibilities? A team of researchers at @imdea_nano @uam_madrid @unicomplutense @polimi are already working on this dream project. 🧵 A THREAD

New research 📄 @tomATTOsecond researchers show the importance of considering nuclear motion for a correct interpretation of photoionization in a water molecule. See the #OpenAccess paper in @PhysRevLett journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…

Filming light at 1 quadrillion FPS? Yes 🤯 This video by Veritasium uses a model by Professor Fernando Martín (UAM/IMDEA Nanociencia) to explain how scientists make sense of the trillions of frames captured in a second! 📽️youtu.be/P-4pbFcERnk?si=Nq4i…

Researchers from the @tomATTOsecond project use attosecond spectroscopy to explore the ultrafast dynamics of biphenyl. tomatto.eu/electron-transfer… Charge transfer in molecules is closely linked to the movement of atoms. In particular, for biphenyl...👇️(read the thread)🧵

Charge transfer in biphenyl occurs in several stages. 1️⃣ First, the molecule ‘flattens,’ facilitating ultra-fast charge movement. 2️⃣ Then, charge distribution oscillates. 🔁 These observations highlight how electronic and nuclear dynamics are closely connected. (continues) 🧵
