Ultrafast Science

Ultrafast science studies processes that happen incredibly quickly, often in femtoseconds (one quadrillionth of a second). Using specialized lasers, scientists can observe and manipulate events like chemical reactions, energy transfer, or electron movements as they occur in real-time. This field helps us understand fundamental physical and chemical phenomena, leading to advances in technology such as faster electronics, improved solar cells, and new materials. By capturing these rapid processes, ultrafast science provides a detailed picture of how matter behaves at the smallest, fastest scales.
