Scientists have developed a novel method to measure time at the quantum level using the interference patterns of Rydberg wave packets, which do not require a fixed starting point, enabling extremely precise timing of events as short as 1.7 trillionths of a second.

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.
