- Using lasers to watch electrons in action
- Using lasers to watch electrons in actionCool!If this works nicely on even shorter timescales attosecond switching or below, a whole new avenue into chemistry, especially biochemistry, will open up.Exciting.P.S.: For those who don't know, a "faster laser" means a laser that generates shorter pulses of light.

- Using lasers to watch electrons in action
- Canadian and U.S. scientists have used ultrafast lasers to take snapshots of electrons in action. The tools they've used work at a femtosecond time-scale -- a femtosecond lasts 10-15 seconds. But they want to observe the electron recollision process which occurs in the attosecond time-scale -- an attosecond is just...

- Repairing genetic mutations with lasers?
- German researchers at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel CAU think they've proved that genetic information can be controlled by light. The group studied the interaction between the four DNA bases -- adenine A, cytosine C, guanine G, and thymine T -- by using femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The researchers think that...
