Scientists develop compact on-chip tool for spotting electric-field waveforms with attosecond time resolution
Recognizing how light waves oscillate in time as they engage with products is essential to understanding light-driven energy transfer in products, such as solar cells or plants. Because of the remarkably broadband at which light waves oscillate, nevertheless, scientists have yet to establish a compact tool with adequate time resolution to directly record them.
