Ultrashort pulses can be generated using light from the extreme ultraviolet spectrum, allowing precise measurements to be taken on atomic time scales. However, no suitable lenses exist yet for this light spectrum. Physicist Marcus Ossiander is looking to remedy that shortcoming by using new nano-optics, such as those used in virtual reality goggles, for example. […] Continue reading “Nanostructures that pretend to be lenses and make ultrafast processes visible”
