Attosecond Science Laboratory

An Attosecond Science Laboratory studies ultrafast phenomena by creating and observing light pulses lasting only a few attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second). These extreme time scales allow scientists to examine the movement of electrons within atoms and molecules in real time, revealing details about fundamental processes like chemical reactions and energy transfer. By generating precise attosecond pulses, researchers can capture snapshots of electrons as they move, enabling a deeper understanding of matter at its most fundamental level and advancing fields like nanotechnology, photonics, and quantum physics.
