**[Using an ionic pulse spectrometer scientists discovered Rabi oscillations in a stretching molecule.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-023-01075-9)** scientists studied how a laser affects the way atoms and molecules move and interact. They focused on a process called Rabi oscillation, which is when atoms and molecules move back and forth due to the laser's energy. The team looked at this process in a type of molecule called H2+. They found that the laser caused the parts of the molecule to move differently, causing them to gain different amounts of energy. This led to unexpected results in the molecule's behavior, which could help us better understand how lasers affect molecules. WDYT, @mr27.near?
