Revolutionary Research Unveils Atomic Bonding Process

In an astonishing breakthrough, a team led by Markus Koch at Graz University of Technology has made history by tracking, for the first time, the real-time formation of atomic clusters. The researchers focused on magnesium atoms, isolating them using superfluid helium and triggering reactions with precise laser pulses. This cutting-edge study not only illuminates the bonding process but also captures the intricate energy exchanges that occur amongst the atoms.
