“Is there another domain in which the race against <strong>time</strong> can continue to be pushed Subfemtosecond<br />

or <strong>attosecond</strong> (10 -18 s) <strong>resolution</strong> may one day allow for the direct observation<br />

of the <strong>electron</strong>’s <strong>motion</strong>. … In the coming decades we may view <strong>electron</strong> rearrangement,<br />

say, in the benzene molecule, in real <strong>time</strong>.” – Ahmed Zewail, 2000 Nobel Address
