The quantum-mechanical exchange interaction between electrons can be specifically modified with intense infrared light fields on time scales of a few femtoseconds, as time-resolved experiments on sulfur hexafluoride molecules show. This finding lights a way for bottom-up controlling chemical reactions with lasers in the future - based purely on electrons, the 'glue' of chemistry.
