Scientists have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting ‘molecular movie’ tracks one and a half revolutions of carbonyl sulphide (OCS) — a rod-shaped molecule consisting of one oxygen, one carbon and one sulphur atom — taking place within 125 trillionths of a second, at a high temporal and spatial resolution.
