by Mark Schleub A research team at the University of Central Florida has demonstrated the fastest light pulse ever developed, a 53-attosecond X-ray flash. The group led by Professor Zenghu Chang beat its own record set in 2012: a 67-attosecond extreme ultraviolet light pulse that was the fastest at the time. At one-quintillionth of a […]
In 2012, University of Central Florida’s Dr. Zenghu Chang, created the world’s shortest laser pulse at 67 attoseconds in the Florida Atto Science & Technology (FAST) Lab. Scientists rejoiced because Dr. Chang might have created a tool able to view quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the structure and behavior of very […]
