Cracking the Secrets of Attoseconds: Nobel Prize-winning Research Explained

Attosecond pulses, which last for 0.000000000000000001 of a second, have revolutionized the study of electrons and chemical reactions. By providing shorter snapshots of atoms and molecules, attosecond spectroscopy has allowed researchers to understand electron behavior in single molecules, track the real-time breaking of chemical bonds, and study electron behavior in various materials. The ability to generate attosecond pulses has opened up new possibilities for studying the fundamental particles that make up matter.
