I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser's group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

Fig. 1: Experimental setup for attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy. NIR pulses are focused behind a pulsed gas jet, where attosecond pulses are generated. At some distance from the gas jet, ...

Electrons determine everything: how chemical reactions unfold, how materials conduct electricity, how biological molecules transfer energy, and how quantum technologies operate. But electron dynamics ...

Fig. 1: a, An attosecond pulse enters a capillary, where a strong electrical pulse generates a hydrogen plasma. As the electrons move toward the capillary walls, they form a concave lens that focuses ...

A group of three researchers earned the 2023 Nobel Prize in physics for work that has revolutionized how scientists study the electron – by illuminating molecules with attosecond-long flashes of light ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin has for the first time demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy (APAPS) at a repetition rate of 1 ...
