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 kilohertz. This became ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Understanding how to create artificial photosynthesis, or tough, flexible high-temperature superconductors, or better solar cells, or a myriad other advances, will only be possible ...

How long is an attosecond, and what can these infinitesimally short pulses tell researchers about the nature of matter? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission ...

Attosecond laser pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) are a unique tool enabling the observation and control of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids. Most attosecond laser sources ...

The recent development of attosecond sources of coherent soft X-rays has opened a route to observing and controlling the fastest electronic processes in matter. In this rapidly evolving field, the ...

An international team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, University College London and ELI-ALPS in Szeged, Hungary, has demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy to ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. To catch a glimpse of the subatomic world’s unimaginably fleet-footed particles, you need to produce unimaginably brief flashes of light ...

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 ...
