Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

An in-depth understanding of material behaviours under complex electrochemical
environment is critical for the development of advanced materials for the next-generation …

Advances in attosecond spectroscopy have enabled tracing and controlling the electron
motion dynamics in matter, although they have yielded insufficient information about the …

The ultrafast photoinduced ring-opening of 1, 3-cyclohexadiene constitutes a textbook
example of electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry and a model for photobiological …

The past two decades have seen rapid developments in short-pulse X-ray sources, which
have enabled the study of nuclear and electronic dynamics by ultrafast X-ray spectroscopies …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Electronic excitations lie at the origin of most of the commonly measured spectra. However,
the first-principles computation of excited states requires a larger effort than ground-state …

One of the great dream experiments in Science is to directly observe atomic motions as they
occur. Femtosecond electron diffraction provided the first'light'of sufficient intensity to …

The discovery of the electron over a century ago and the realization of its dual character
have given birth to one of the two most powerful imaging instruments: the electron …

With the recent advances in ultrabright electron and x-ray sources, it is now possible to
extend crystallography to the femtosecond time domain to literally light up atomic motions …
