TL;DR: A mass spectrometry approach is demonstrated that directly images the absolute configuration of individual molecules in the gas phase by cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy after laser ionization–induced Coulomb explosion.

TL;DR: Experimental observation of this long-predicted but experimentally elusive Efimov state of 4He3 by means of Coulomb explosion imaging confirms the predicted size and a typical structure where two atoms are close to each other while the third is far away and sheds light on three-body physics more broadly.

TL;DR: Investigation of electron momentum distributions from single ionization of Ar by two orthogonally polarized laser pulses of different color shows that the visibility of the interference fringes depends on the degree of the which-way information determined by the controllable phase between the two pulses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured how the transmission probability through a rotating tunnel depends on the sign of the magnetic quantum number m of the electron and thus on the initial sense of rotation of its quantum phase.
