scientists have caught the ultra-swift subatomic particles called protons in action. The feat, accomplished by a team of researchers from the Imperial College in the uk , opens a new window to fundamental scientific processes.

The breakthrough was achieved using hydrogen and methane molecules. It will provide opportunities to scientists for a more detailed study and greater control of molecules, particularly organic molecules that are the building blocks of life. The study appeared in the March 3 issue of Science (Vol 311, No 5765).

We are very excited by these results, not only because we have
