AttosecondPulses

Our team of physicists inadvertently generated the shortest X-ray pulses ever observed

Our team of physicists inadvertently generated the shortest X-ray pulses ever observed Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have generated the shortest X-ray pulses ever observed, clocking in at 60-100 attoseconds. The new X-ray laser pulses were created using a technique called Rabi cycling, which splits energy levels into different frequencies, allowing for the generation […]
