Electron Camera

World’s fastest electron diffraction snapshots of atomic motions in gases

Scientists have made a significant advance toward making movies of extremely fast atomic processes with potential applications in energy production, chemistry, medicine, materials science and more. Using a superfast, high-resolution "Electron camera," a new instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), researchers have captured the world's fastest UED images of nitrogen molecules rotating in a gas, with a record shutter speed of 100 quadrillionths of a second.

It will be interesting to see what new information ia obtained about the bonds in the nucleus and its parts. Perhaps we are closer to a new energy source then we think.
