Seeing Molecules in Quantum 3D | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scientists have cracked the code to capture a 3D image of a molecule’s quantum shape — something previously impossible without massive facilities and long experiments. Using a lab-based X-ray source and a smarter algorithm that needs far less data, they’ve reconstructed the elusive quantum wavefunction with atomic-level detail. This breakthrough could let us film molecules in real-time as they react to light or chemicals, at speeds faster than a quadrillionth of a second — opening doors to controlling matter at its most fundamental level.
