A new gating scheme based on polarization control and second-harmonic generation is greatly simplifying the production of isolated attosecond pulses. Attosecond pulses — flashes of light lasting ...

A research team at European XFEL and DESY has achieved a major advance in X-ray science by generating unprecedented high-power attosecond hard X-ray pulses at megahertz repetition rates.

The discoveries by L’Huillier, Agostini, and Krausz transformed fundamental research in attosecond physics, but also opened the door to future applications across chemistry, medicine, and electronics.

Hans Jakob Woerner’s main research focus is the ultra-fast spectroscopy of molecules with an attosecond time resolution (1as ... Hans Jakob Wörner is a Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the ...
