Laser-induced electron diffraction is an evolving tabletop method that aims to image ultrafast structural changes in gas-phase polyatomic molecules with sub-Ångström spatial and femtosecond ...

Physicists in the US have created ultracold polyatomic molecules by trapping and cooling them directly in three dimensions. Led by John Doyle at Harvard University, the team used a standard device ...

Individual polyatomic molecules have been trapped in arrays of optical tweezers for the first time. Researchers in the US were able to control individual quantum states of the three-atom molecules and ...
