The text discusses the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier for their work on generating attosecond pulses of light to study electron dynamics in matter. The author explores the evolution of observational timescales in science, from seconds to femtoseconds and beyond, and highlights the contributions of various scientists in this field. The text also mentions the importance of timescales in understanding chemical reactions and the role of Nobel laureates such as George Porter, John Polanyi, and Ahmed Zewail in studying fast reactions. The author concludes by emphasizing the significance of attosecond science in both physics and chemistry. [Extracted from the article] |
