Dynamical heterogeneities (DyHes) emerge in liquids upon cooling, when molecules form regions with distinct slow and fast dynamics. Even though DyHes are ubiquitous across research fields, they have so far eluded direct experimental observation.
The scientific objective of this RAC consortium is to use advanced X-ray methods in order to study the dynamics of proteins in crowded environments, in condensates and during phase transitions on their relevant length and time scales.
