The subatomic world is difficult to grasp, not only because it is incredibly tiny, but also because it is super fast. Now, physicists from the University of Arizona have developed the fastest electron microscope in the world, capable of capturing phenomena that last only a quintillionth of a second.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

A good camera, with a shutter speed measured in milliseconds, could take a sharp photo of a person running. But the fastest cameras in the world, transmission electron microscopes, can capture events on an attosecond scale, such as photos of electrons running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, an attosecond is one quintillionth of a second<\/strong>, which makes a millisecond (one thousandth of a second) seem like an eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
