Abstract :
Femtosecond Electron Diffraction has enabled atomic resolution to structural changes as they occur, essentially watching atoms move in real time - directly observe the very essence of chemistry and biology. This experiment has been referred to as "making the molecular movie". Recent results will be presented from the latest advance in electron sources and characterization to direct observation of structure order parameters to classic barrier crossing processes in cyclization reactions.
