Scientists view the ‘transition state’ of a photochemical reaction in real-time

In chemical reactions, molecules transform from reactants into reaction products through a critical geometry called a transition state that lasts less than one millionth of one millionth of a second. Scientists recently captured a critical geometry using the ultra-high speed ‘electron camera’. The research will help explain why reactions generate only specific reaction products.
