Light for biomolecules and super-fast processes

Villigen, 16.5.2018 - The 16th of May is the International Day of Light. With the help of light, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI see how molecules assemble and how rapid chemical and physical processes occur on the scale of individual atoms. Their findings enable advances in biology and pharmacology and also promote the development of new materials for data storage and medical technologies, such as better early diagnosis of breast cancer.
