Direct Observation Of Chemical Reactions

Posted by timothy on from the look-very-very-closely dept.

Mouth of Sauron writes "I saw on C|net that researchers with IBM have devised a way to directly observe chemical reactions as they occur in a liquid with an electron microscope. Frances Ross of IBM was awarded the Burton Medal by the Microscopy Society of America. Researchers say this could lead to a better understanding of chemical reactions and could have impact far beyond the computer industry."

    High speed? 30 fps is the bare minimum for me. I won't even watch a chemical reaction until it's at least 60 fps. And do you know if they put the 3DMax scores into the paper?
