Particularly interesting to me is ultrafast electron diffraction (UED)[1,2]. UED is cool because you can create atomic resolution movies with speeds that can (in the near future) resolve chemical reactions as they occur. (eg. imagine being able to see a protein change conformations in a biological reaction) This application is limited by the number of electrons we can stick in a given volume and get traveling in the…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1403.7539/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
