Scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and international collaborators say they have reconstructed a real-time “movie” of atoms moving for up to a picosecond before an electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) event, showing that nuclear motion and geometry can strongly influence when the decay occurs and what it produces.
