Summary:
- This article discusses the recent achievement of generating the shortest light pulses ever created, which are in the attosecond range (one-quintillionth of a second).
- These ultra-short light pulses were generated by a team of researchers using a high-intensity laser and a gas target, and they could have important applications in studying the motion of electrons within atoms and molecules.
- The ability to create such short light pulses represents a significant advancement in the field of ultrafast science, as it allows researchers to observe and understand the fundamental dynamics of matter at the most fundamental levels.
