(PhysOrg.com) -- Understanding how to create artificial photosynthesis, or tough, flexible high-temperature superconductors, or better solar cells, or a myriad other advances, will only be possible when we have the ability to image electrons by freezing time within a few quintillionths of a second. A leader in attosecond science tells how it's done.
