Scientists capture first molecular-level images of water reorganization during a reaction crucial for life
Some of nature's most important chemical reactions rely on the coupled movement of negatively and positively charged particles.
AI Summary
Scientists have obtained the first molecular‑level images showing how water molecules reorganize during a reaction that underpins processes such as photosynthesis, catalysis and biological energy conversion. The work, led by Jeff London at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, visualizes the coupled movement of negatively and positively charged particles that drive these essential chemical transformations. The images reveal details of the water restructuring that were previously inaccessible, addressing a long‑standing challenge in observing such reactions.
