Taking an attosecond pulse of subatomic behavior

Article Abstract:

Scientists are working on schemes for developing a laser that could fire attosecond light pulses that last only a few hundred billionths of a billionth of a second. An attosecond pulse would have important applications in the study of subatomic particles.
