Scientists have made a meaningful advance toward making movies of extremely lickety-split atomic processes with potential applications in energy production,chemistry, medicine, and materials science and more. Using a superfast,high-resolution "electron camera," a new instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and researchers have captured the world's fastest UED images of nitrogen molecules rotating in a gas,with a record shutter speed of 100 quadrillionths of a moment.
