AI Summary
Researchers have created a device that can detect molecules in a sample within nanoseconds. This allows for a better understanding of rapid processes in areas like jet engines and cell growth regulation.
Researchers have developed a device that can detect the presence of specific molecules in a sample every 20 nanoseconds, or billionths of a second. With this new capability, researchers can potentially use frequency combs to better understand the split-second intermediate steps in fast-moving processes ranging from the workings of hypersonic jet engines to the chemical reactions between enzymes that regulate cell growth.
