‘World’s fastest’ microscope captures electron motion in striking detail | The researchers generated a single attosecond electron pulse to capture an electron in a fixed state, matching the speed at which electrons move.


Researchers anticipate that this tech could lead to breakthroughs in fields like physics, chemistry, bioengineering, and materials science.

“The great impact of these three pioneer scientists allowed us to trace electron motion in real-time using attosecond light pulses. When asked about what this development means for the so-called ‘mysterious’ nature of quantum physics and why is it necessary to see an electron in motion, Hasan explains, “This is a very important question. With a keen interest in science, Srishti is particularly drawn to beats covering medicine, sustainability, gene studies, and anything biology-related.
