    Reaching the space-time limit

    In collaboration with several research groups, a team of RTG researchers has successfully pushed the temporal resolution of lightwave-driven scanning tunneling microscopy into the attosecond regime. This allows them to reach the quantum-mechanical space-time limit in ultrafast real-space microscopy, for the first time. Upon excitation with single-cycle near-infrared waveforms, the electrons in the STM tip…
