Scientists awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in physics have made significant contributions to attosecond science, which involves capturing the ultrafast motion of electrons using attosecond laser pulses. By using these pulses as strobes, researchers can create "attosecond movies" of electron behavior, providing fundamental insights into their motion. This understanding could lead to advancements in controlling chemical reactions, engineering new molecules, and developing ultrafast switches for faster electronics. Attosecond science also holds potential applications in EUV lithography and the study of particle motion on even faster timescales.

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have developed a novel method to track the motion of an electron in a strong infrared laser field in real time. The method links the absorption spectrum of the ionizing extreme ultraviolet pulse to the free-electron motion driven by the subsequent near-infrared pulse. The technique used is attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy together with the reconstruction of the time-dependent dipole moment, which connects the time-dependent dipole moment with the classical motion of the ionized electrons. The new method demonstrated here for helium can be applied to more complex systems such as larger atoms or molecules for a broad range of intensities.
