For the first time ever, scientists watch an atom's electrons moving in real time

An international team of scientists has used ultrashort flashes of laser light to directly observe the movement of an atom's outer electrons for the first time. Through a process called attosecond absorption spectroscopy, researchers were able to time the oscillations between simultaneously produced quantum states of valence electrons with great precision. These oscillations drive electron motion.

Nanofluidic 'multi-tool' separates and sizes nanoparticles

A wrench or a screwdriver of a single size is useful for some jobs, but for a more complicated project, you need a set of tools of different sizes. Following this guiding principle, researchers have engineered a nanoscale fluidic device that functions as a miniature 'multi-tool' for working with nanoparticles.
