Scientists Photograph a Light Pulse

Posted by Lisa Zyga in BLOGROLL, CREATIVITY, DESIGN, INTERNET, MEDIA

Researchers have taken a photograph of a light pulse that is just 2.5 femtoseconds (10-15 seconds) long - the shortest pulse ever to be imaged.

They didn't use a tiny camera, but rather another even shorter light pulse. The flash lasted just 80 attoseconds (10-18 seconds), making it the shortest light pulse ever generated.
