Arizona Develops World's Fastest Electron Microscope

Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed the world's fastest electron microscope, achieving an unprecedented speed of capturing images in just one attosecond. This breakthrough allows scientists to observe electrons in motion, providing new insights into quantum physics and the behavior of subatomic particles. The development is expected to have significant impacts across various fields, including physics, chemistry, bioengineering, and materials science. The research builds on the foundational work of Nobel laureates in ultra-fast radiation pulses, pushing the limits of how rapidly electron pulses can be generated.
