A new frontier in understanding electron dynamics: imaging with attosecond short X-ray flashes

A team of researchers from the University of Hamburg and collaborators has achieved a breakthrough by capturing images of individual nanoparticles using single X-ray attosecond pulses. This advancement, which has been published in Nature Communications, sets the stage for high-resolution snapshots of dynamic phenomena such as chemical reactions and phase transitions, with an unprecedented temporal precision.
