Breakthrough laser experiment reveals liquid-like motion of atoms within an ultra-cold cluster A new study has furthered our understanding of how tiny nanosystems function, unlocking the potential to create new materials using nanosized ‘building blocks’ >>The technique excited single clusters & generated rotational wavepackets, made of multiple waves illustrating the individual motion of atoms >> they tracked these wavepackets in real time up to 1 nanosecond over many rotations. >>provides greater detail of the structure of clusters than traditional spectroscopic techniques, improving understanding of small systems and allowing for the creation of new human-made materials in a lab setting.
