Ultrafast Science focuses on the study of phenomena occurring on extremely short timescales, typically femtoseconds or attoseconds. Research includes the generation and application of ultrafast laser pulses, such as mid-infrared femtosecond lasers and attosecond pulses, for probing and controlling matter at the electronic and atomic levels. Investigations cover ultrafast dynamics in materials, including electron and spin dynamics, molecular vibrations, and structural changes, often employing techniques like ultrafast electron diffraction and time-resolved spectroscopy.
