As a result, they can act as strobe lights for viewing the fastest events in nature \u0026mdash;\u0026nbsp;atomic or molecular motion \u0026mdash;\u0026nbsp;and therefore promise to revolutionize our understanding of almost any kind of matter.\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.osapublishing.org\/optica\/fulltext.cfm?uri=optica-8-4-545\u0026amp;id=450073\u0022\u003ENew research\u003C\/a\u003E shows how to measure the super-short bursts of high-frequency light emitted from FELs.
