Polish researchers show how to create 3D maps of molecular orientation in materials

A Polish team has shown how, by measuring the vibrations of molecules, it is possible to determine the spatial orientation of the molecules and prepare an unprecedentedly accurate 3D map of almost any material. This can be useful in work on new materials, electronic devices, and even in cancer therapy.
