Femtosecond

Nature Physics, a team of researchers led by Jean-Yves Bigot used a "Femtosecond" laser, which produces super-fast laser bursts to alter electron spin, speeding up the read/write process. interview with the Associated Press, Bigot said his team's breakthrough, which he dubbed the

Femtosecond studies following Zewail's work are being performed intensively the world over, using not only molecular beams but also processes on surfaces (e.g. to understand and improve catalysts), in liquids and solvents (to understand mechanisms of the dissolving of and reactions between substances in solution) and in polymers (e.g. to develop new material for use in electronics).
