Stop-motion to see the electrons move

The ultra-high temporal resolution of 150 attoseconds enables the reconstruction of the evolution of the electron distribution of the krypton atoms right after ionization. Notice that this evolution occurs within a few femtoseconds only. Picture: Christian Hackenberger, LMU.
