World's Fastest Electron Microscope Captures Electrons in Motion

University of Arizona researchers achieve attosecond temporal resolution, opening new frontiers in quantum physics and materials science.

The new microscope, termed 'attomicroscope,' captures electron movements at one quintillionth of a second.
Developed by a team at the University of Arizona, it builds on Nobel Prize-winning research.
The device uses a laser to generate single attosecond electron pulses, enhancing image resolution.
This breakthrough enables unprecedented observation of electron behavior and structural dynamics.
The research is expected to impact fields such as quantum physics, chemistry, and bioengineering.
