Professors at Tyndall National Institute have been studying how the atom acts when it is hit by short bursts of light. Atom's have a natural vibration and they are excited when they are hit by beams of light. the x-ray
laser creates pulses that can capture the atom moving at a billionth of a billionth of a second. this lets the
scientists to look at an individual atom and how it is affected when light is absorbed. This kind of study has
never really been done before and this can help with the understanding of photosynthesis and how it can
possibly increase energy storage if replicated. this is very interesting it did not know that the atoms bounce
when light is added to it
