Probing molecular environment through photoemission delays
Attosecond chronoscopy has revealed small but measurable delays in photoionization, characterized by the ejection of an electron on absorption of a single photon. Ionization-delay measurements in atomic target...

Open AccessFew-cycle laser driven reaction nanoscopy on aerosolized silica nanoparticles
Nanoparticles offer unique properties as photocatalysts with large surface areas. Under irradiation with light, the associated near-fields can induce, enhance, and control molecular adsorbate reactions on the ...

Open AccessTime-resolved molecular dynamics of single and double hydrogen migration in ethanol
Being the lightest, most mobile atom that exists, hydrogen plays an important role in the chemistry of hydrocarbons, proteins and peptides and most biomolecules. Hydrogen can undergo transfer, exchange and mig...

Open AccessThe importance of Rydberg orbitals in dissociative ionization of small hydrocarbon molecules in intense laser fields
Much of our intuition about strong-field processes is built upon studies of diatomic molecules, which typically have electronic states that are relatively well separated in energy. In polyatomic molecules, how...

Subfemtosecond steering of hydrocarbon deprotonation through superposition of vibrational modes
Subfemtosecond control of the breaking and making of chemical bonds in polyatomic molecules is poised to open new pathways for the laser-driven synthesis of chemical products. The break-up of the C-H bond in h...
