University of Arizona scientists develop a record-fast transmission electron microscope with attomicroscopy capabilities.

University of Arizona scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, a transmission electron microscope capable of capturing electrons in motion. The microscope's ultrafast capabilities are achieved through a single attosecond electron pulse, generating one-quintillionth-of-a-second pulses, and offering real-time observation of electron motion. This advancement, called "attomicroscopy," has the potential to revolutionize fields such as physics, chemistry, bioengineering, and materials sciences.
