Optical control of reactions
Article Abstract:
Frohnmeyer and colleagues used a probe pulse to ionize excited molecules, producing an electron. They recorded the motion of sodium atoms in the excited molecule by varying the delay between two pulses. Systematic changes in the bonding between the sodium atoms were observed when the intensity of the probe pulse was increased.

Generation and characterization of a fairly stable triplet carbene
Article Abstract:
A triplet carbene has been prepared and characterized and has a 19 minute half-life, which means that is is more stable than many triplet carbenes.
