DESCRIPTION
Combined ultrafast snapshots suggest that the crystal symmetry of copper sulfide nanocrystals changes due to interactions between electrons and atoms vibrating in the crystal lattice - an understanding of which could help scientists optimize the functionality of superconductors, magnetic materials, and other strongly correlated systems.
