Scientific field promises faster chips and better solar panels

Attosecond science, the laser-led study of what happens to matter over very short timescales, could lead to major advances in our understanding of nature’s fastest processes.

It could enhance the problem-solving capabilities of computers, develop more efficient solar power cells, and both identify new medical treatments and improve diagnostic processes — all vital areas of research as we look for solutions to climate change and innovative ways to combat illness.
 
So in time we will learn that carbon dating is a primitive tool, and what we’ve called science thus far can be equated to religious beliefs.
