Nobel Prize awarded for femtosecond spectroscopy
Femtosecond spectroscopy “photographs” chemical reactions as they happen, using a laser as a “flash”. One femtosecond is 0.000000000000001 seconds. If the events that happen in a femtosecond were expanded to fill a second then the events in a second would fill 32 million years.
