The "Light & Schools" school laboratory's holiday course on research introduced children of primary school age to physical topics in a playful way. For the team of coordinators, this means looking at basic physics from a different perspective and questioning the familiar.

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...
