Coherence of femtosecond single electrons exceeds biomolecular dimensions

Time-resolved diffraction and microscopy with femtosecond electron pulses provide four-dimensional recordings of atomic motion in space and time. However, the limited coherence of electron pulses, reported in the range of 2–3 nm, has so far prevented the study of complex organic molecules with relev...
