...second of a chemical reaction by using the crossed molecular beam technique. Colleagues thought he was crazy, but this novel approach proved to be useful -- especially in the following years, when Lee made improvements that substantially increased the variety of reactions that could be studied this way. The method is analogous to that of particle physicists, who accelerate beams of speeding subatomic particles, smash them together or into a target, and then study the resulting debris. Herschbach's and Lee's beams consist of molecules instead of subatomic particles; when the molecules collide at about the speed of sound, they...
Herschbach likens the problem to "the crowd at a baseball game. You really want to know what is being said by a few people at once -- the chemistry of individual 'conversations' between molecules." His method provides a way to acquire that knowledge, he said, which helps in understanding "the psychology...
