American researchers have generated a record-setting laser pulse so short that it makes most everything else seem like an eternity. The pulse lasted just 67 attoseconds, which is about two million ...

Wires just three atoms wide that change from being insulators to electrical conductors – and then back again – when struck by a laser pulse have been created by researchers in Germany. The team has ...

Researchers used pulsed sub-atomic layer deposition to control both composition and metal-atom distribution in Mo-W-S2 monolayers across the full MoS2-to-WS2 range. The study shows how engineered line ...

An ultrafast "electron camera" at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has made the first direct snapshots of atomic nuclei in molecules that are vibrating within millionths ...

Ultra-short light pulses enable many time-resolved studies in chemistry, especially when used in pump-probe experiments. However, most chemical events are not initiated by light, but rather by ...
