Attosecond camera captures the hidden angular momentum of liberated electrons
9/24/26 Science Magazine
In a result that rewrites the textbook picture of one of ultrafast science’s most trusted measuring tools, physicists have peered inside attosecond streaking itself and discovered a hidden quantum world. For two decades, attosecond streaking has served as the field’s stopwatch, converting the shudder of escaping electrons into readouts of electric fields and atomic emission delays. Now, researchers led by Meng Han at Kansas State University, together with Hao Liang of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics and colleagues in Taiwan, have shown that the electrons being measured are far from the classical projectiles the technique implicitly assumes.

Nick Lander, director of housing and residence life for K-State Housing and Dining Services, said the project’s primary focus was to enhance each student’s day-to-day routine, whether it be through larger, more noticeable improvements or small quality-of-life changes. “We wanted to update the space to modernize the student experience,” Lander said. “There’s a lot of things that students may not think about that improve their experience. Little things like the new flooring and better lighting help the students have a brighter, more positive experience.”
