A new paper published in Nature Physics in July 2026 acknowledges the support of the UPDICE project.

The paper, “Attosecond response of molecules to impulsive ionization”, investigates the response of para-aminophenol molecules following sudden ionisation. Using attosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the researchers resolve ultrafast electronic dynamics with atomic-scale sensitivity, capturing processes occurring on sub-femtosecond and few-femtosecond timescales.

The findings provide new experimental insight into ultrafast charge motion and provide an important benchmark for theoretical models of molecular dynamics following ionisation.
