Their attosecond system involves a powerful laser split into two components: a fast electron pulse and two ultrashort light pulses. The first light pulse, called the pump pulse, energizes a sample, triggering electron movement or other rapid changes. The second pulse, known as the optical gating pulse, creates a brief window to generate a single attosecond electron pulse. The timing of this gating pulse determines the image resolution. By precisely synchronizing these pulses, researchers can control when the electron pulses probe the sample, allowing them to observe ultrafast atomic-level processes.
Essentially, yes.
In Minecraft this is the equivalent of crafting a hoe which unlocks the whole of agriculture in the game.
Nobody knows what discoveries we’ll make and what will grow from these discoveries. Exciting times.
