pulse radiolysis

Pulse radiolysis is a scientific technique used to study rapid chemical reactions by generating a short, intense burst of radiation—called a pulse—to excite molecules in a sample. This sudden energy input creates reactive species, allowing scientists to observe their formation, transformation, and decay in real-time. By recording these fast processes, pulse radiolysis helps understand mechanisms in fields like chemistry, biology, and materials science. It’s like taking a high-speed snapshot of events that happen in fractions of a second, providing detailed insights into dynamic chemical reactions.
