A new research paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) in July 2026 acknowledges the support of the UPDICE project.

The paper, “Photoinduced Enhancement of Chemical Shift Sensitivity to Local Vibrations”, investigates the ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited 3-fluoropyridine using time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The research demonstrates how X-ray spectroscopy can reveal changes in the local chemical environment of individual atoms as a molecule responds to light excitation.

The work highlights the potential of advanced X-ray techniques to provide new insights into the fundamental processes that govern molecular dynamics and photochemistry.
