    Liquid-liquid phase separation in supercooled water from ultrafast heating of low-density amorphous ice

    Recent experiments continue to find evidence for a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in supercooled water, which would unify our understanding of the anomalous properties of liquid water and amorphous ice....

    Stroboscopic operando spectroscopy of the dynamics in heterogeneous catalysis by event-averaging

    Heterogeneous catalyst surfaces are dynamic entities that respond rapidly to changes in their local gas environment, and the dynamics of the response is a decisive factor for the catalysts’ action and activity...

    Coherent X-rays reveal the influence of cage effects on ultrafast water dynamics

    The dynamics of liquid water feature a variety of time scales, ranging from extremely fast ballistic-like thermal motion, to slower molecular diffusion and hydrogen-bond rearrangements. Here, we utilize cohere...
