[QUOTE="yazooo, post: 171118, member: 194443"] Scientists have made the fastest ever observations of motion in a molecule. They "watched" parts of a molecule moving on an attosecond timescale - where one attosecond equals one billion-billionth of a second. The researchers say the study gives a new in-depth understanding of chemical processes and could be used in future technologies such as quantum computing. The study, which relies on short pulses of light from a specially built laser, was published in the journal Science. "Understanding how something changes in time means really understanding its essence, and we are now looking at changes on a very, very fast timescale," said team member Dr John Tisch, of Imperial College London, UK. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4766842.stm P.S.
