Fast-moving electrons can be tracked with unprecedented precision by new spiral method

SMRTR summary

Researchers at UC San Diego developed time-resolved vortex electron diffraction, a technique using spinning electrons to observe molecular electron movement with high precision. This method captures multiple snapshots of electron motion over time, reducing background noise and focusing on synchronized movement. The technique could improve control of chemical reactions and aid in new material development by providing detailed insights into molecular-level electron behavior.
