Science on the Attosecond Scale

"From then until now, people have mostly studied relative atomic motions or the electronic transitions governed by these motions," says Leone, a member of Berkeley Lab's Chemical Sciences Division, a professor of chemistry and physics at UC Berkeley, and Director of the Chemical Dynamics Beamline at the Advanced Light Source. "These include vibrations, rotations, and the like - motions measured in timescales of femtoseconds."
