The AttoSee project will use a technique called angular streaking to reveal the temporal structure of and synchronization between ultrashort UV pulses in combination with the observational vantage point offered by X-rays in a new atto-clock instrument for FEL science. This opens the door to filming the quantum cosmos at work on the most extreme timescales with direct implications for the structure of life and it's fastest processes. Photo: M.
