loconet writes "Researchers have found a way to generate the shortest-ever flash of light — 80 attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second) long. Such flashes have already been used to capture an image of a laser pulse too short to be "photographed" before. Jonathan Marangos at Imperial College London, UK, says the super-short flashes could let researchers image the movement of electrons around large atoms." Link to Original Source
