Researchers use LCLS to get real-time view of chemical reaction; important insight into how catalysts work

Green Car Congress

In the LCLS experiment, the scientists shot the crystal’s surface with a pulse from a conventional laser, which caused carbon monoxide molecules to begin to break away. A paper on their work is published in the journal Science. We never expected to see this state ,” Nilsson said. “ It was a surprise. ”.
