Researchers from Weizmann Institute of Science in Germany have developed a new method of tracking rapid material changes.

They used a powerful laser to modify the refractive properties of matter, which is, change the extent to which light slows down as it passes through matter, on extremely short timescales.

This advance in attosecond science could have wide variety of future applications, paving the way for ultrafast communications and computing.
