What is it about?
In nature, plasma interacts with water and induces various chemical reactions. However, how electrons behave in water is poorly elucidated. In this article, using femtosecond laser pulses, we took snapshots of electrons' behavior in a picosecond timescale in water during plasma generation.

Why is it important?
We found a funny behavior of electrons in regions where the plasma density is very high. This hints that the structure and energy of electrons in water are highly modulated by the surrounding plasma.
Perspectives
Direct observation is a key to elucidate an underlying physics and chemistry.
