Professor Kazuhiko Hirakawa and his colleagues have reported their achievement of capturing the ultrafast movement of a single molecule using terahertz electromagnetic waves. They created a single-molecule transistor consisting of an electrode with a gap of about one atom, and used this metal electrode as a micro-antenna for terahertz electromagnetic waves, enabling terahertz measurement of single molecules. This paper was published in the electronic edition of Nature Photonics on September 3.
