For example, laser pulses of the order of attoseconds (one attosecond = 10 –18 second) are so short that they can reveal the motion of electrons in atoms and molecules, giving a new way to ...

Driven by the field of light, charge can be transferred from one end to the other of even large molecules within attoseconds. Light-field-directed charge in molecules opens the prospect of ...

The wavelengths of the ultraviolet light emitted by the electrons were in attoseconds. Agostini and Krausz leveraged the effect discovered by L'Huillier to generate attosecond pulses, measure them ...

Within those constraints, the fastest times we’re able to talk sensibly about are measured in attoseconds, where an attosecond is 10-18 s, or a billionth of a billionth of a second. That’s in ...

The discovery that won the latest Nobel Prize in physics seems far away from our life, but one day everything could change ...

scientists now have access to an array of light pulses with durations ranging from femtoseconds down to attoseconds over a broad spectral region. Imaging a chemical reaction requires various tools ...

For example, laser pulses of the order of attoseconds (one attosecond = 10 –18 second) are so short that they can reveal the motion of electrons in atoms and molecules, giving a new way to discover ...
