Picosecond 'kettle' to probe chemical reactions A way to boil water in less than a trillionth of a second has been devised by researchers. The approach, which is still theoretical, uses a concentrated pulse of terahertz radiation to raise the temperature of a small sample of water by around 600 C. |

Single particles take flight An international team of researchers has developed a way to study the shape and structure of individual aerosol particles in their native environment. This should help climate modellers and toxicologists to get a better handle on why aerosols behave in the way they do. |
