World's fastest microscope captures real-time electron movement

Scientists have developed the world's fastest transmission electron microscope, capturing images of electrons in motion using one-quintillionth-of-a-second pulses. This technology allows observation of electrons moving at speeds up to 1,367 miles per second. The study, published on August 21 in Science Advances, introduces "attomicroscopy," enabling unprecedented insights into electron behavior, a significant advancement in quantum physics research.
