Solvated Electrons: One of Nature’s Most Reactive Species Caught at the Surface of Water

Northside

Watch scientists trap nature's most reactive particles at the surface of water using laser techniques and sodium microjets. The talk unpacks how chemical reactions happen at liquid interfaces, with hands-on soapy water experiments to bring the science to life.
