Physicists are now able to manipulate and control individual molecules for a millionth of a billionth of a second

U.K. researchers recently demonstrated a newfound technique to manipulate extremely brief chemical reactions involving individual molecules. A Nanowerks article reported that these reactions last for just a millionth of a billionth of a second, making the technique one of the most precise means of control known to man. They developed the technique after getting unexpected […]
