Operando spectroscopy

Operando spectroscopy is a type of science that involves looking at particles inside a machine while the machine is working (operating). It is like taking a picture of the insides of a machine while it is running. Scientists use special instruments, like a microscope, to look at the chemical reactions and energy movements inside the machine. With this information, scientists can learn more about how the different parts of the machine work together and how to make them better.
