A new study shows that electrons scattering off pyridine molecules in two different ways, as shown by the striped orange cone and the red coil, could be separated, allowing researchers to simultaneously observe how the molecule's nuclei and electrons respond to flashes of light. The study was done with SLAC's "electron camera," MeV-UED.
