(Nanowerk News) X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have delivered intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses in the femtosecond range for over a decade. A femtosecond is equivalent to a millionth of a billionth ...

(Nanowerk News) A German-Swedish team has succeeded in simultaneously studying the rapid motion of electrons with high spatial accuracy and a temporal resolution in the attosecond range. A ...

OKINAWA, JAPAN—Tiny moving particles make up everything in our physical world—including modern electronics, whose function relies on the movement of negatively-charged electrons. Physicists strive to ...

The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons behave in solids, and researchers have now captured electron movement in attoseconds--the ...

Electrons move and change energies at such a blistering speed that physicists long believed it would never be possible to capture their dynamics, even with the fastest lasers. The Royal Swedish ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Finding more efficient ways of storing and using energy requires scientists to first look at the particles that set these fundamental processes in motion – the electrons.
