HIRES-MULTIDYN

The functions of almost every single product conceived and produced rely on the properties of individual molecules and condensed matter. Understanding and improving the properties of condensed matter require determining both the structure and dynamics with atomic resolution over a very broad range of timescales. The EU-funded HIRES-MULTIDYN project will introduce a ground-breaking technology, called ultrafast high-resolution relaxometry (UHRR), to determine the dynamics of complex systems on timescales ranging from picoseconds up to microseconds. Researchers will build and test proof-of-concept prototypes of UHRR instruments. They will also develop the theoretical framework to understand the unprecedented measurements obtained by UHRR and interpret them in terms of molecular motions. The UHRR prototypes could find applications in a broad range of fields, such as drug design, food, health and energy.
