Description
Nikolay V Golubev and Mohammed Th Hassan outline in 2026 a proposed microscope that could film electron motion inside DNA as reactions unfold. Charge racing through DNA on the fastest timescales may shape genome stability and cell signaling, yet no tool has watched it live. Computer simulations in the work map how charge and quantum coherence move within standard DNA base pairs.
The imagined instrument pairs attosecond timing, a billionth of a billionth of a second, with detail finer than an atom width. Laser control guided by such views might one day steer chemical reactions directly. Medicine tailored to a person could also gain from watching the first steps of damage or repair. The device remains a concept, so the work bridges theory and instrument design.
