Capturing the coordinated dance between electrons and nuclei in a light-excited molecule

Using SLAC’s high-speed ‘electron camera,’ scientists simultaneously captured the movements of electrons and nuclei in a light-excited molecule. This marks the first time this has been done with ultrafast electron diffraction, which scatters a powerful beam of electrons off materials to pick up tiny molecular motions.
