Illuminating molecules from within : Calculations show that with new short pulse x-ray light sources, it should be possible to use photoelectron emission to make movies of changes in molecular structure.

Location: Berkeley, United States

Much of our knowledge about molecular structure and reactivity is based on interpreting how molecules interact with light. In particular, time-resolved pump-probe studies where a first “pump” laser pulse initiates a dynamical event,...

Cutting CO2 emissions from existing coal plants

Location: Cambridge, United States

Professor Ernest Moniz, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) unveiled a report on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants. The report is based on the findings of a major MIT symposium on retrofitting coal-fired power...
