Scientists filmed atoms "roaming" before exploding -- revealing a hidden driver of radiation damage.
- The process: The research centers on electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD), a radiation-driven process that can cause loosely bound atoms to break apart. This mechanism is especially important because it can generate highly reactive particles in water, making it a key factor in how radiation damages biological systems.
