✦ Synopsis

Surface structural dynamics are determined with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution by ultrafast electron crystallography. The dynamics are initiated by a femtosecond laser pulse, and transient surface structures are imaged by an ultrashort electron pulse: A diffraction snapshot is obtained at a given time, δt, and allows the real‐time observation of surface structural dynamics with atomic‐scale resolution. For more details see the Communication by A. H. Zewail and co‐workers on page 2705 ff.
