The Attosecond Science and Technology group

The Attosecond Science and Technology group specializes in studying and controlling extremely fast processes within atoms and molecules, occurring on an attosecond timescale (a billionth of a billionth of a second). They develop advanced laser techniques to generate and analyze ultrashort light pulses, allowing scientists to observe electron movements and interactions in real time. This research enhances our understanding of fundamental physical and chemical phenomena, potentially leading to innovations in electronics, medicine, and energy. Essentially, they explore the microsecond world at unprecedented speeds to unlock new scientific insights and technological capabilities.
