Capturing the correlated motion of water molecules

Published:

Scientific Achievement: Researchers revealed atomic-level correlated motion of water molecules at the crucial picosecond timescale to evaluate the dynamic nature of the liquid by using coherent X-ray scattering. 

Significance and Impact: This research could revolutionize understanding and control of liquid viscosity and conductivity for novel energy technologies, from fuels, lubricants to batteries.
