Physicists shine new light on ultra-fast atomic processes

An international team of scientists is the first to report incredibly small time delays in a molecule’s electron activity when the particles are exposed to X-rays. To measure these tiny high-speed events, known as attoseconds, researchers used a laser to generate intense X-ray flashes that allowed them to map the inner workings of an atom. … Read more
