      The most recent discovery I made was from testing one of my chemicals by shining a laser on it. Molecules never stay still – they’re constantly vibrating, and different parts of the molecule vibrate at different speeds. This can tell you a lot of useful information about how your molecule behaves in certain situations, and we test them with lasers to find this information out.
