How chemical bonds are formed: Physicists observe energy flow in real time

Summary

Nutrition label

93% Informative

Researchers at Graz University of Technology tracked in real time how individual atoms combine to form a cluster.

They isolated magnesium atoms using superfluid helium and then used a laser pulse to trigger the formation process.

The researchers were able to observe this cluster formation and the involved energy transfer between individual atoms with a temporal resolution in the femtosecond range.
